Review:

She does fiction as it should be done, with confidence and insight -- Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie * Observer * Jane Gardam's stories are as good as ever. * SPECTATOR * Pure delight... One perfect story after another. * SUNDAY TELEGRAPH * The dialogue is flawless. Her grasp of characters and their evolution is enviable. In this collection of short stories she is at her finest. Sharply observed, wonderfully told tales. * YORKSHIRE POST * Flawlessly written, with dialogue so angular and sparky, and description - of landscapes and food - so lovely and hard edged, that they are a revelation of the extraordinary effects ordinary language can achieve. * DAILY TELEGRAPH *
