Description

'Bloomington- Now that I have been here a while, I can say with confidence that I have never been here before.' 'Delightful, deeply moving, deliciously humorous, beautiful and surprising.' Financial Times'One of America's finest practitioners of prose . . . brimming with renewed inventiveness and the ability to assault readers with an upped dosage of wit, pathos and insight. Stunning, mesmerising.' Herald'A chance to revel . . . good, funny, remarkable.' Observer'Take these writings as they come, slowly. You will go back to a little gem that has wormed its way into your mind and stuck there, and discover that it is indeed a little gem, which sparkles a different way each time and flashes with a brief beauty of hidden meaning.' Susan Hill, Spectator'Davis can invest descriptions of everyday events with startling reserves of emotion. She has a brilliant eye for the surprising, vibrant detail.'Sunday Times'A clever and refreshing observation of the world around us.' Stylist'One of the unique creations of American literature.' Prospect
