Time Out
There's weird and there's dark and there are the stories of this highly original and terrifying writer ... impressive stories
- Eileen Battersby, Irish Times
Makes you laugh out loud, then finally breaks your heart. That's why she has and deserves her A-list status
Independent
This book is a gentle, entertaining antidote to the over-achievements of much of modern life.It is fantstical, anti-American, anti-consumerist, anti-individualist ... it shifts your perspective on life in the most darkly entertaining way
Observer
This book is inspirational. It shows that with a little bit of courage you can change your life
