Recenzii

“What Hadley’s stories share with Munro’s is an extraordinary ability to capture whole worlds—the hopes, disappointments, complexity and arc of characters’ lives—in concise prose that never feels rushed.” — San Francisco Chronicle Book Review
“Hadley writes like a dream, even if some of her stories can haunt you like a nightmare….Hadley’s measured, perfectly controlled prose masterfully chronicles her characters’ turmoil; these stories are gemlike and unforgettable.” — Boston Globe
“Filled with exquisitely calibrated gradations and expressions of class, conducted with symphonic intensity and complexity….[An] understatedly beautiful collection….Extraordinarily well-made.” — Stacey D'Erasmo, New York Times Book Review
“Hadley’s power...is best felt as she teases out the often dangerous crackles in the air and cracks in the heart. There’s a louche tautness to her prose...” — Helen Davies, Sunday Times (London)
“[Hadley’s stories] are often like movie clips of lives in transit, their small shifts of focus yielding up flashes of psychological insight. . . . Hadley excels at the domestic context, at pinpointing the particular quiddity on which an individual character turns; at marking the tiny swings of allegiance in human relationships.” — Rachel Hore, The Independent
“One of the most interesting writer around....This collection shows a writer quietly growing in style, perception and grace. She conveys to the reader that rare ability to see completely into someone else’s head.” — Philip Womack, The Spectator
“Only Alice Munro and Colm Tóibin, among all the working short story writer I’m aware of, are so adept at portraying whole lives in a few thousand words. With Married Love, Hadley joins their company as one of the most clear-sighted chroniclers of contemporary emotional journeys.” — Edmund Gordon, The Guardian
“Domestic relationships are the stuff of these delightfully understated, tightly sprung stories.” — Fanny Blake, Woman and Home
“Married Love…could more accurately be described as a concentration, not a collection, of short stories. The stories here are, in effect, a dozen novels in miniature....There is a grand sweep and an emotional charge that brings to mind DH Lawrence.” — Elena Seymenliyska, Daily Telegraph (London)
“There is not a lot of domestic bliss to be found in these finely rendered stories, but there are many small moments of everyday life made recognizable by an exceptional storyteller. Highly recommended.” — Library Journal
“A subtly incisive vision and the ability to conjure full fictional scenarios in limited spaces characterize the new collection by a noted British writer….Shrewd, insightful, unpredictable, Hadley’s stories successfully plumb the complicated daily deeps.” — Kirkus
“Hadley’s command of the telling detail, the unspoken riposte, and the subtle interpersonal struggles that fuel everyday human actions infuses this collection with both saucy fire and sobering fatalism.” — Booklist
“Hadley excels at the poignantly comic scene and the dangling ending that somehow still satisfies. These twelve touching tales showcase her gifts.” — People (3 ½ stars)
“Her talent is to take these small details of everyday life and build them into stirring narratives….Hadley gives space to the smallest emotional currents, allowing them to expand.” — Susannah Meadows, New York Times
“Twisting her pen with words so skilled and a sensitivity so finely honed it takes mere fragments to convey the lifetime of a character to the reader, Hadley brings us twelve of the finest short stories in print today.” — Andrea Huehnerhoff, Sacramento Book Review
“A feast of angst and disappointment.” — Evening Standard (London)
