“Read and be transported”

"There are few writers out there with the dexterity and emotional intelligence to rival the great Rose Tremain"

“Tremain has the painterly genius of an Old Master, and she uses it to stunning effect… Glorious.”

"A seductive new collection from ‘a magnificent story-teller"

"Filled with emotional richness, complex sensibility and a passionate insistence of the humanity of the poor"

"Richly marbled with intelligence, compassion and compelling characters, leavened with flourishes of lyricism and and attractive tolerance towards human frailties"

"Hypnotic… Curiously beautiful and strikingly original"
