'Davis is a phenomenal writer whose ability to create well-rounded characters that are easy to relate to felt effortless.' ~ Compulsion Reads 'If one reads a lot, book after book (as I do), you sometimes get a sense of repeated themes, story arcs, and plot points that begin to run together in ways that make it hard to discern what's outstanding or noteworthy from the book before. Then a story jumps out at you with a raw burst of originality and thought-provocation that goes deeper than most, leaving you thinking and pondering the issues and plot lines unfolding in front of you. That would be These Fragile Things.' ~ Lorraine Devon Wilke, Author 'Jane Davis really does bring characters to life, mothers, fathers, friends, teachers are all perfectly described along with their actions and reactions to events. I love the occasional asides, an overheard conversation here, or a mental comparison of one home with another there, all of which helps to anchor the story.' ~ Cleo Bannister, Book Blogger 'That Jane Davis is an important new writer is a given.' ~ Grady Harp, Book Blogger 'The relationship between husband and wife is so subtle and enduringly lovely.' ~ Sally Markwell, Reader 'Never wastes a word.' ~ Geoffrey West, Sutton Writers' Club. 'Masterly writing on a subject most of us don't give a second thought to.' ~ Amazon Reviewer 'This book will take you on a journey into parts of the psyche we never normally explore. It will make you look at life differently and ask yourself the big questions we all normally avoid.' ~ Mrs Tina Britt, Reader 'Moving, thought provoking, sad and funny.' ~ Karen Begg, Reader 'The author's prose is extraordinary.' ~ Julie, Amazon Reviewer, US
