Recenzii

Fearless . . . This summer's must-read literary thriller. The writer's skilful depiction of female rage amid a world of predatory men will have you laughing, crying . . . and unable to put it down
Showcases Taddeo's dark imagination, confronting prose and vodka-dry humour . . . Taddeo is at her best when she's writing about female friendship, with all its fraught nuances
Taddeo can deliver turns of phrase so perfect, they feel like they've been on the tip of your tongue for ever . . . When it comes to describing some of femininity's ugliest double binds, Taddeo is as brutal as the best of them. She is funny, too
Explores female desire and sexual power dynamics in a collection of stories that often feel shockingly true . . . Some readers will feel a shock of recognition - Taddeo has a knack for saying what women often feel they can't say aloud
These nine stories from the bestselling author of Three Women and Animal simmer with poisonous energy . . . Candid and caustic, these portraits are bold, bleak and entirely believable
Dizzying, dripping and highly addictive
Devastating stories of women's pain, loss and compensatory behaviour. Taddeo is the 21st century's more excoriating Edna O'Brien
I'd be jealous of Lisa Taddeo if I didn't love her so damn much
