Review

This is bitter family rivalry mixing modern-day fiction and some Shakespearian tragedy at its best...A skilful first-novel (WESTERN MAIL CARDIFF MAGAZINE)

An absorbing collection with a pleasing ability to expand beyond rational limits into fantasy, which left this reader eager for more. Readers' groups should enjoy this talented and multifaceted writer (NEW BOOKS MAGAZINE)
