'Invites us to take time in reading the stories again, in the company of one of the foremost novelists today in the English language ... A work of exceptional wisdom and imagination' Dr Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury, Daily Telegraph

'There is something of the sense of astonishment and marvel that is present in her novels... Robinson's careful analysis is to have one's understanding of the text profoundly enriched and changed' Richard Harries, Guardian
