Trade Review
'A must-have anthology of contemporary writing ... There are 15 stories within this anthology, and each one a gem.' MsLexia 'One thing that does shine out, [is] the sheer quality and craft of much of the writing ... many excellent writers included here.' Sunday Tribune 'An interesting and distinctive read ... yet another barometer of the current health of the Irish short story.' Evening Herald 'These are stories that satisfy because they take time and space to develop ...' The Irish Times
