'Kennedy is a superb writer and the canniness of her observation
keeps you reading' Sunday Times Humour, fantasy, rage and despair
both help and hinder the protagonists of these stories as they
navigate changing circumstances, accumulating losses, moments of
comprehension and tenderness. Here is the woman, hoping for a quiet
day at the zoo, who finally snaps at a white man's racist tirade
and vents years of fury; the micro-celebrity who practises lines
for a chat show on which he'll never appear; and the woman who
walks out of her honeymoon suite at midnight, perhaps for good.
Unsparing in her close examination of human relationships, A. L.
Kennedy proves once again why she is regarded as one of our great
storytellers. 'Kennedy dissects the small intimacies of inner
thoughts... Her prose is typically direct, her sentences clear-cut
and yet capable of great tenderness' Observer 'An author with a
proven ability to see - truly see - and whose prose can fire like
gunshots across the page' New Statesman
