Elizabeth Benedict's quietly perceptive guide... a useful book for would-be novelists and an interesting one for readers of fiction. -- 'The Sunday Times' June 16th 2002

Read it because it will teach you everything you need to know about writing good fiction. -- Peter Carey, author of True History of the Kelly Gang
