What people have said about the book: 'Your words are in the same category as Tove Jasson and Ali Smith...I save their words and yours, to read gently and be able to savour them in unpressured time.' 'Her wicked humour and stunning presence is spellbinding.' 'A massive gossip! The chat that we all wish we could have with our girlfriends every single day because we'd all be much healthier for it but time and space just sort of get in the way - so it's really nice just to read it.' 'It feels so very similar to worlds I felt that opened to me in books like 'Women Who Run With The Wolves' I don't know...that world that is so hard to define with words, and yet somehow these women have used words to conjure up what I feel but cannot express myself...''I felt that I was in a different dimension, a parallel universe, somewhere safe so I could find new meanings and universes which didn't necessarily have anything to do with the original words. Quite delightful.'
