‘Jackie Kay’s third collection of short stories ranks among the
best’ Guardian
‘Hilarious . . . heartbreaking’ Observer
‘Sheer joy . . . The pleasure that Kay takes in observation, in
dipping her imagination into the secrets of the secretive and the
songs of the unsung, is infectious’ Scotland on Sunday
‘They glow with a quiet radiance, touched as they are by the warmth
of their creator’s heart’ Spectator
‘Invigorating and witty . . . An observer whose eye for human
frailty and courage is that of a portraitist who wants to show
rather than tell’ Sunday Herald
