Reviews

Her work is an exemplar of the truth that the short story can be the briefest of affairs, but it can stay in the mind forever - Glasgow Herald. * Glasgow Herald *
These are astonishing stories, hilarious and surprising and insightful... if there's a funnier, smarter or richer book published this year, I will eat my shoes - Guardian. * Guardian *
Reaffirms her impressive mastery of fiction ... Hempel's wit, insight and crisp writing make her work consistently powerful' Observer. * Observer *
