Award-winning journalist Wendy Evans makes the transition from fact to fiction in this long-awaited collection of short stories. Her incisive wit made her a popular columnist in Perth, and now turns over the dust in many corners of Australia. The poet stirs the senses, the dramatist tears the emotions, the satirist pokes fun at beloved institutions. In the tradition of storytellers like Henry Lawson, there is great warmth and true compassion. Here, too, is a dark side, and a creative imagination which takes the reader to some very strange places. This is a polished collection of well-constructed, lively short stories, brought to life by skilfully developed characters and their amusing banter. - Morag Kobez-Halvorson The stories have an intrinsically Australian character with wide appeal. The author sometimes gives you a wink at the end to leave a smile on your face. While there are serious and heart-rending moments, I found myself laughing aloud on many occasions, a great tonic for our troubled times. - Sara Moss
