About this title

Review:

"The Big Issue" (London)Tactile and unfussy, these yarns come over like some north-of-the-border Raymond Carver -- brilliantly catching the tiny triumphs, big decisions and bumping let-downs of an assortment of everyday, flesh-and-blood protagonists....A beautifully wrought gem.

From the Back Cover:

'Galloway's subject is love in all its quirky triumphs and sneaky defeats. Where You Find It confirms the originality and skill which wins her awards...Galloway has the all-important gift of knowing when her stories end, and lethally accurate powers of observation'
-Judy Cooke, Daily Telegraph

'The writing can be felt on your pulses. Galloway is a literary endoscopist. She gets beneath the surface of life and exposes the nerves'
-Georgina Brown, Independent

'She is a quite brilliant observer of the way relationships suddenly turn, of how a look, a gesture, a word can heal or hurt'
-Anthony Quinn, Harpers & Queen

'Fuses a nerve-exposing honesty with deep compassion'
-Gavin Wallace, Scotsman
