RaveThe Guardian (UK)Mischievous and convivial, Dench delights in sending up O’Hea whenever his questions become too probing or pretentious ... Dench is famous for her reluctance to pontificate on the mechanics of her craft, preferring to work from instinct; yet it is precisely this quality that saves the book from becoming too dense and academic ... it’s a mark of Dench’s impish genius and O’Hea’s deftness that it genuinely feels like you’re sitting at her kitchen table with her. It’s companionable and compelling.
