`ONE OF THE MOST IMAGINATIVELY CHALLENGING NOVELISTS OF THE CENTURY` — Paul Binding, The Literary Review
Fires consists of some nine monologues and narratives based on classical Greek stories. Interspersed are highly personal notations, reflecting on a time of profound inner crisis in the author`s life.
`It is more lucid and brilliant than any realistic transcription of love, and in its clear and calm light the narrator finds herself. It is in myths, after all, that we see our true face — that is why we remember them still. Fires has tapped the energy which resides in such myths, and gathers some of their power.` — Peter Ackroyd, Sunday Times
`The effect isn`t unlike that of Elizabeth Smart`s `By Grand Central Station I sat down and wept` — an inspired raid on poetic tradition that makes suffering into a brilliant tableau, a kind of triumph.` — Lorna Sage, The Observer
`Past and present blend to provoke the reader into fresh views of familiar things... the monologues flare out in images of dance, flight, aspiration.` — Miranda Seymour, Spectator
