Review:
"It begins and ends with an absolute cracker...the two main stories, framing the rest of the contents like fine mahogany book-ends, are good enough to justify the cover prize" (Julia Flynn Sunday Telegraph)
"Thorpe's precise prose never wastes a word; he inhabits a variety of complex characters effortlessly and is extremely funny and moving by turns. A real treat" (John Harding Daily Mail)
"He demonstrates flashing prowess as a maker of crafted stories" (Tom Adair Scotland on Sunday)
"What raises both story and collection to the highest level is the combination of Thorpe's extraordinarily keen ear, sharp humour and a remarkable, direct prose that is not only suited to the way his people think, but also provides the perfect foil to those moments of tentative poetry that spark and burn from time to time in even the dullest of English lives" (John Burnside Guardian)
"Adam Thorpe's new collection of short stories, is assured. It's also insightful and shrewd about the minutiae of people's everyday inner lives" (Jerome de Groot Time Out)
