Reviews for No One Belongs Here More Than You (Canons)
Blisteringly good
Guardian
There's beauty and tenderness here as well as great wit and, like the best stories, a delicious sense of the unexpected
Metro
A stunning collection ... from a wonderfully quirky and highly original writer
Venue
July's short fiction is quirky and self-consciously postmodern in style ... The best of her stories adds a depth of emotional truth which can persuade you to believe in her most oddball worlds.
Helen Chappell
Tribune
Surprising, amusing and touching ... they'll fill you with a renewed sense of wonder at the world
Venue
Magically oddball ... rarely has such a thing been so entertaining
Time Out
July's inventive tales swing from laugh-out-loud funny to heart-clenchingly sad
Daily Telegraph
These stories are incredibly charming, beautifully written, frequently laugh-out-loud funny, and even, a dozen or so times, profound
DAVE EGGERS Astonishingly good ... mordantly funny
Vogue
Intimate, original and more than a little strange, these are tales about people who are baffled and often overwhelmed by life.
