— Laura Kasischke, pass judgement on, Michigan Literary Fiction Awards
Of Elaine Ford’ s novel, Missed Connections, the Washington Post wrote that it's a paintings “ of small episodes, of certain sentences, of bizarre clarity.” that very same readability proves an unsettling strength in Ford’ s tales, the place precision of prose usually belies uncertainties hidden underneath. within the identify piece, an American lady in England, embroiled in a dating doomed to fail, discovers how little she is aware approximately her personal wishes and impulses. In one other tale, one other American spouse, deserted in Greece by means of her archaeologist husband, struggles to resolve a criminal offense not anyone else believes to were committed.
Throughout her tales Ford touches at the mysteries that make up our lives. every one tale in itself is a masterpiece of such aspect and tool as to remodel the way in which we see the world.
