<p>'Carol Chandler's writing subtly compels you into a dark wood of her characters' niggling restlessnessso you feel you have one foot in ordinary reality and one (metaphorical) foot in the dubious illumination of dream/memory/speculation... These are forcefully charged fragments of (dis)connection where glittering surfaces and shadowy half-accusatory memories and perceptions create a powerful sense of undercurrent. This is rich liminal prose that keeps you constantly engaged wanting clarity and resolution in a world of compromised relationships and disturbing self-awareness. Clever high-tensile paranoia...' - David Gilbey </p>
