Completely bowled over. Her prickly and precarious narratives of women, men, and other women were spot-on; muse as outsider, as underdog. I felt a complete affinity with her voice. Each story was succinct and began and ended at the precisely right moment. One of my favorite passages:

"I had touched the right spring - even the feeling of his hand on my arm changed. Always the same spring to touch before the sneering expression will go out of their eyes and the sneering sound out of their voices. Think about it - it's very important." - from Till September Petronella
