'....The imagery is vivid, and the language sharpened until it shines. I admired the writer’s ability to render an epic tale with such minimal means, and for rising above the savagery to fashion a beautiful, redemptive ending.' [David Swann]
'The flashes show subtle insight into human behaviour, are often genuinely moving, and the author has a way with closure - many flashes end with a lovely poise and delicacy.' [Michael Loveday]
