Trade Review
"Mannheim's restive tales of her desiccated stretch of New York provoke and abide like a slap." - Eimear McBride "Linda Mannheim's smouldering vignettes of New York life are both achingly sad and beautifully wrought. These are stories to re-read and savour." - Stuart Evers "The stories in Above Sugar Hill share a strong sense of territory but at the same time the buildings in them are vandalised and neglected; they burn and crumble - The children are as vulnerable as the buildings in which they live." - Alison Moore
