Zadie Smith
Tessa Hadley has become one of this country’s great contemporary novelists ... possessed of a psychological subtlety reminiscent of Henry James, and an ironic beadiness worthy of Jane Austen
Guardian
<b>One of Britain’s finest writers</b>… Hadley’s clear-sighted observations about people’s foibles and her ability to whip up an atmosphere with only a tent pole and a pair of furry handcuffs is something to behold.
The Times
Hadley is a writer whose reputation grows with every book… <b>This new collection of short stories reconfirms her remarkable talent</b>… Hadley excels at both genres, brilliant at conveying emotion and with an uncanny ability to get under her character’s skin… <b>These stories brim with a keen intelligence and linger in the mind long after you close the book.</b>
