Cline is an astonishingly gifted stylist, but it is her piercing
understanding of modern humiliation that makes these stories
vibrate with life...brilliant
*New York Times*
Fans of Cline will delight in the author's razor-sharp observations
and penchant for storytelling
*Evening Standard*
Cline is particularly good at locking in the witty detail that
speaks volumes... These expertly constructed stories withhold key
information... the pleasures here lie in an appreciation of Cline's
skilful and absorbing craft
*Sunday Times*
These stories live in the odd corners of the world, Cline's talent
at uncovering the seedy and somehow bringing it to beautiful light
is brilliant. These are understated gems
*Daisy Johnson*
When I read Emma Cline I think of Mary Gaitskill's psychological
acuity and of Joy Williams's sardonic gravitas. And yet something
about Cline's intimate tone, her talent for conjuring the feeling
of being alive, is entirely and uniquely her own
