Media Reviews
'To those that have feasted on Joanne Harris's delightful novel Chocolat, the title of this collection of short stories should give ample hint as to their themes...All of these modern morality tales are well observed and tastily enjoyable' The Times 'This stunning collection of short stories (is) about modern relationships -- and modern women. Every twist and turn, nuance and delicacy of the mating game is portrayed...Throughout, Gregory's grasp of the female psyche never errs...It is a significant accomplishment' Daily Mail
