The perfect year-round present * Time Out * Brilliant...Murakami introduces all these stories with grace and lightness of touch * Sunday Herald * A memorable collection. Voices and settings as diverse as the authors, but they are all concerned with the arbitrary yet immensely significant way in which we mark the passing of our lives * Observer * The quality of storytelling is exemplary... There's darkness enough here for the hardiest of cynics, but enough heart to charm * Word *
