reviews
"In each story the intensity builds as day-to-day life is rapidly unfurled to reveal the longings and aches that stir within the characters. The vividly evoked settings pit the characters against their environments as much as each other and themselves. Each story inserts the reader into the midst of a new microcosm, which is often on the verge of disaster. The portrayal is hard-edged, almost cynical, but life-affirming, with humour and an eye for the amusingly absurd. Foy has crafted a collection that reminds us why, despite the tiring tribulations of life, we want more of it."
