‘It is the sense of place imbued in these pieces which strikes me as being the greatest strength of Car Maintenance, Explosives and Love … these writings … transport the reader from the confines of their chair to whatever locale in which the author has set her work. For this reader at least, those transforming moments are what makes good writing enjoyable.’ 

Richard Watts

‘Definitely recommended.’
