These nine stories are filled with longing, guilt and violence.
New York Times
An electric blend of hilarity and despair.
Bonnie Jo Campbell, O, The Oprah Magazine
Jewelled and barbed with the beauty and brutality of real life, these are sentences of perfect weight and understanding. There are no fillers here, no stories that disappoint: the nine coalesce into something rare and understatedly breathtaking. Like the missing who haunt these stories, Thunderstruck is unforgettable.
Stuart Evers, Observer
Wonderful, moving tales.
Erica Wagner, Financial Times
[A] powerful collection.
John Self, Independent on Sunday
McCracken writes in lilting, contained prose, and imbues her narratives with wry humour and the soothing resonance of fairy tales… An unforgettable collection that should be irredeemably sad but, in fact, is strangely life-affirming.
Francesca Angelini, Sunday Times
I was so enthralled by her world, I didn’t want to leave
Carys Davies, Metro
Please do yourself a favour and secure a copy of this splendid book. And not because it is the winner of the Story Prize, but because is exceptionally good
Mario Guslandi, Nudge
