Review:

This outstanding collection marks Tim Gautreaux as one of the best short story writers anywhere...it is magnificently enjoyable reading (Annie Proulx, Guardian)

Tim Gautreaux deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as William Faulkner and Tennessee Williams. Scintillating...unforgettable (Mail on Sunday)

'This man is a wonderful writer . . . I can honestly say I love to read his stories. He never exaggerates, never manipulates the reader's affections, but nonetheless he always captures the heart.' (James Lee Burke)

'Startling and redemptive . . . These stories suggest . . . that to be alive means being open to grief and accident, chance and wonder' (Chicago Tribune)

'Finely balanced, sweet, and gritty' (San Francisco Chronicle)
