Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

‘Zoë Brigley Thompson ... is particularly attuned to the most subtle forms of both violence and hope, and so with often startlingly beautiful imagery can offer the reader new ways of gathering morale in disheartening times.’ – Emily Trahair, Planet Magazine ‘This is a woman with fiery vocal chords and serious skill in exercising them.’ – Sophie Baggott ‘Brigley can quote male writers blithely making sexist remarks and then turn those masculine texts inside out with her own version of an ‘écriture feminine’ which subverts such confident definitiveness with a questioning open-endedness.’ – Ian Gregson ‘Brigley highlights the vastness and intensity of women’s desire.’ – Moniza Alvi
