'One of my favourite writers and I think this is her best book. A presentation of short stories written so naturally that I think: she must have experienced this herself, otherwise she wouldn't write it like that. However that's not true, she can just write really well.' — Paulien Cornelisse
'For me a recent, but memorable discovery. George Saunders' short stories often have an interesting form but the story that they tell is always good.' — Paulien Cornelisse
'A true story about a British politician who is destroyed over a homosexual affair - which is still illegal in England in the 1960s. There is also a good mini-series of this book (starring Hugh Grant and Ben Whishaw) however this book is even better. In an often humorous way, Preston describes how the world is connected by clumsiness and coincidences.' — Paulien Cornelisse
With compassion and a deeply practical spirit, this book guides us to discover our true talents and to make sense of our confused desires and aspirations before it is too late.
