Truly absorbing... a masterful yet understated read... More please
Sunday Express
Hadley is a talented writer
Scotland on Sunday
Brilliant... Hadley's style is as discreet as good tailoring
Independent
Really very sexy... she is the writer we didn't know we were waiting for, until she arrived
Anne Enright, Guardian
The stories sparkle...Hadley is fascinating for the way she admits a fantasy or a missed chance can be more significant than the actual events that shape a life
Metro
A wholly satisfying collection of stories...Distinguished by a dry humour and prose that often surprises but is never merely showy, Sunstroke catches life on the wing and pins it, fiercely struggling to the page
Peter Parker, Sunday Times
A brooding, real-life collection bruised by knowledge and sustained by familiar discomfort
Eileen Battersby, Irish Times
In Sunstroke nothing is stable or predictable... These wonderfully elegant but rather unsettling stories may be set within the confines of the home, but they are not cosy
Clare Staunton, Time Out, Book of the Week
Absorbing and slyly revelatory
Hepzibah Anderson, Daily Mail
Tessa Hadley excels in glimpses: those small, burning memories that we never lose and which haunt as well as remind... A wonderful collection
Brian Henigan, Herald
She has such great psychological insights into human beings, which is rare. She is one of the best fiction writers writing today
Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie
Few writers give me such consistent pleasure
Zadie Smith
