From the Publisher:
"Holley Rubinsky's voice is clear, her eyes and ears are carefully tuned, and she has something fresh and loving to say about the world we live in daily....Rubinsky's stories are restorative, in the best sense of the word, and renewing." --Russell Banks
From the Back Cover:
"Rubinsky writes in a gritty first-person voice that allows her characters to express insight, both deliberate and unconscious, into their confounded souls." --Publishers Weekly
"Verbal energy, narrative drive, high pace, an eye hungry for detail--all show a writer waiting at the gate." --Kirkus Reviews
"A remarkable novel by a huge and genuine talent. Holley Rubinsky has perfect pitch." - Ian Brown
"There is a vein of bravery and insight running through -- so rich that it infuses everything.... This is an author staring down the hardest things she knows ... and the results are incendiary." - The Globe and Mail
"Holley Rubinsky's voice is clear, her eyes and ears are carefully tuned, and she has something fresh and loving to say about the world that we live in daily.... Rubinsky's stories are restorative, in the best sense of that word, and renewing." - Russell Banks
"Books this good are rare. [These stories] combine the fine craftsmanship we expect from a Munro or Gallant with Rubinsky's own delightful idiosyncrasy." - The Edmonton Journal
