Recenzii

Though her characters' flaws, fears and phobias feel all too real, Heyman's treatment of them is honest, human and kind
Lottie . encapsulates the dichotomy of her life. She's a smartly realised character - bright yet naïve, determined and single-minded ... Heyman handles her subject lightly, lacing it with humour
The author delves deep into Lottie's psyche, shying away from nothing, to create a rounded and gripping portrait of a woman on the edge of change
A heroine for our times
Praise forScary Old Sex:Lusty, tough and life-affirming
Hits the reader in the psyche, the gut and the groin with the force of a precision-aimed slingshot . Shocking, mesmerising and truthful
Both funny and eye-wateringly explicit
Rueful and funny and observant ... Heyman is an enlightened observer across many aspects of life ... These men and women are busily and blissfully humanizing themselves, the kind of bliss that lifts right off the page
A terrific story collection ... Heyman is frank in her descriptions, but never cruel or unfeeling ... a tender, perceptive work
So stylish, earthy and funny
[An] impressive collection ... Heyman takes on the brutal intimacy of death and aging and provides new ways of seeing and experiencing these stages of life
Heyman's frank tales ... feel paradoxically taboo on the page, all the more so for their fierce candour
Sensual and sometimes shocking . Heyman writes with such intimacy and precision that she frequently makes you feel like a trespasser
Bold, hilarious and intelligent ... Heyman is upfront and her characters are richly internal
Delivers a shock of taboo desire that is lusciously sensual
Though her characters' flaws, fears and phobias feel all too real, Heyman's treatment of them is honest, human and kind
