Review Quotes: "This book reminds me of Alice Munro. Like Munro's stories, the reader experiences an immediate immersion into the story and characters' lives, situations, attitude, and problems. This partially comes about through masterful first lines. No easing into the story. It's a dive without having gotten wet first... and without any gasping confusion." -- Cris Mazza, author of Yet to Come
"With insightful prose and a sharp sense of humor, Molly Giles once again reminds us why she is one of the best short story writers writing today. Whether it is the tale of the beleaguered artist's wife angered by being overlooked or the quick sketch of two teenage girls offering a silent protest in middle of a busy road, Giles' fantastic use of voice will have you clearly recognizing these characters and their frustrations. Smart and original, these stories capture the wild interior lives of people on the verge." -- Luisa Smith, Buying Director, Book Passage Bookstore
