Review Quotes:
Freda Spector Warrington's stories are sad, funny, poignant-and real. As vignettes that startle with truths remembered, or voices that pause to let us catch up on insights at once strange and familiar, they entertain and engage us with a kind of quiet elegance. -- Hermione de Almeida Walter Professor Emerita of English and Comparative Literature The University of Tulsa
Freda Warrington's work is impressive. It has a mystical, almost Biblical quality. She recreates the past with exactitude while using it to leverage our understanding of the present. To experience her writing is to know everything about the inequity of longing and loss. But her stream of prose catches us in eddies of hope, and therein lies all the difference. -- David Colman, writer, editor, publisher
