The stories have a steely rectitude and an uncompromising determination to face down humiliation and inequality - economic, moral and compassionate. - GUARDIAN ON RED TIDES
A writer to watch. - SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
Dilys Rose can be compared to Katherine Mansfield in the way she takes hold of a life and exposes all its vital elements in a few pages. - TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT ON OUR LADY OF THE PICKPOCKETS
