Sitting Practice - Softcover

Big themes such as sexuality, religion, family ties and love are deftly

introduced and developed, and Ross and Iliana are so believable and

engrossing that you're holding your breath for them by the end

Explicit, funny and touching...Adderson does it so well that few could match

[her] for skill and wisdom...elegant, snappy, beautifully crafted

Adderson has the ability, essential in a fiction writer, to create with a

few sentences of description or dialogue, charaters whose reality is vivid

and unquestionable

an intense high of love, lust and limitless promise...sublime...Adderson's

first novel brought her prizes and accolades as one of Canada's most

promising writers. Her second novel delivers handsomely on that promise.

Cadence and pacing are sure-footed, dialogue is pitch-perfect, the unfolding

story utterly absorbing. This is a writer with all the talents required to

keep on delivering

Praise for A History of Forgetting:

'Breathtaking...brilliant'

Ross loves Iliana. And, to his amazement - she is sane, gorgeous and met him in entirely undignified circumstances - she loves him too.

He asks her to marry him. She says yes.

Life is improving by the minute.

They have the most romantic wedding imaginable - an overgrown meadow, fabulous food cooked in pits by the groom himself, twelve regretful exes and two hundred and fifty merry drunken guests dancing till dawn.

And then, a fortnight later, Ross is driving Iliana home, takes his eyes off the road for a second, and the trouble starts.
