Media Reviews
A harvest festival of sensuous detail, intimate, rich... Compulsively readable Daily Telegraph Mackay moved this reader to tears, not from grief, but from joy. Now there's a skill -- Fay Weldon Mail on Sunday An extremely beautiful and funny novel... The Orchard on Fire is probably Mackay's most perfect book, produced with a technical adroitness and shapeliness which one can only envy -- Philip Hensher Guardian Shena Mackay is a writer in prime: at the height of her powers... Her prose is flawlessly seductive and comic, confidently witty and sensual -- Julie Myerson Independent on Sunday Wholly delightful... Shena Mackay is an assured artist -- A. N. Wilson Evening Standard
