RaveThe Guardian (UK)Capturing moments of her adult life, Smith pares down her prose to a state of vivid impressionism, so enigmatic that even ordinary acts – preparing mint tea, nodding off while sewing – take on spiritual weight. Smith cuts a lonely figure, offering a clearer view of herself in the act of observing than of what she observes ... Writing was not Smith\'s first choice...but any fans of her music will not be surprised by her mastery of it here.
