           Jill Dawson, author of 'Fred and Edie,' shortlisted for Whitbread and Orange Prize.

'To read Jo Cannon is to enter the world of the displaced, the dispossessed, and to emerge

with a new understanding. She writes with integrity and compassion.'                                        

 Zoe King, editor of ‘Cadenza,’ and Vice Chair Society of Women Writers and Journalists

‘Jo Cannon’s writing is engaging and thought provoking, with a quirky gentleness in the

                                                     prose. Her stories gradually reveal strong universal themes, that 'sing' long after the reader

                                                     has put down the book.'
