COMMENTS ON THE COLLECTION
 ‘Intimate and witty, romantic and ironic, and, above all, compassionate, Carmel Bird’s extraordinary stories do more than take you in — they abduct you.’      Robert Drewe
….
‘These stories tell whole lives, but—like a bowerbird—Carmel has caught up the very brightest bits and piled them into a glittering trove. Her witty, sharp-eyed narrators never fail to tell you what you really want to know about love, sex, death, art—and the heart, in all its many guises.’  Danielle Wood
….
'Delicious and disturbing stories from a great Australian storyteller.'  Brenda Walker
