Review:
Stella Duffy is a writer who never lets you down. -- Ali Smith On Singling Out the Couples: An extraordinary, glittery parable about the power and cruelty of relationships. -- Fay Weldon * Mail on Sunday * On State of Happiness: Duffy is known for her sharp insights and sharper wit, and both are on display here ... Brave, understated and unforgettable. * Daily Mail * On The Room of Lost Things: A spellbinding love song to a part of London usually demonised as home to muggings, shootings and feral gangs ... a book of great sensitivity and passion. * Independent on Sunday * Duffy's stories move us, they eat away at us with their humorous and honeyed sharpness, and they stay with us. * Thresholds * Stella Duffy is a writer of satirical wit and linguistic energy - as well as variety. -- Dr Jules Smith * British Council *
