Recenzii
Duncker is a mistress of suspense ... A febrile, fascinating, disquieting read. It asserts itself for what it is: serious stuff, to be read in one gulp and then mulled over for days
A wonderfully engaging and rewarding collection, shot through with wit and perversity
Dark, subversive . You will be left reeling
This collection of stories confirms Patricia Duncker as one of Britain's leading fiction writers . . . She explores areas of our psyches that we all recognise but mostly choose to ignore. She should be required reading
Confident and bewitching . Duncker is forging her own brand of fiction, a sort of gender-bending, intellectually exuberant English-French hybrid
Patricia Duncker writes beautifully with a flamboyant immediacy
Dark and salacious . They capture brilliantly the moment in everyday situations where our minds cease to occupy reality and shift into the fantasy projections of our fervently active imaginations
