QUOTES OF NOTE

Mrs. Blood wears her nerve ends outside her skin like an updated Katherine Mansfield heroine—and she responds intensely to her external environment and to her subconscious. The effect is to create a vivid impression of a personality in crisis…A spectacular tour de force, this.
— _ New York Times Book Review

QUOTES OF NOTE

These stories are for…anyone who admires a writer in masterly control of her material.
— Globe & Mail

Thomas demands more of her readers than most writers, but the rewards are much greater too.
