Like a ship in the mist, there emerges from these tragicomic lives, fraught with desires and delusions, a recognition of ourselves. "Well-crafted ... character-driven. An impressive book of short stories about people going about their lives, experiencing change, facing hardships. Finn writes skillfully and his style is particularly suited to the short story." - Keith Collier, reviewer, Newfoundland Quarterly, Spring 2011 "Tom Finn`s stories demonstrate consistently controlled use of language, and the author`s sense of dialogue is keen. It is tuned to the way people speak, and the way his characters speak and think. At times comic, it harmonizes well with Finn`s often wry, omniscient third-person narration. Finn writes well, and these stories are good ... some real gems." - Darrell Squires, Library Resources Board, Newfoundland, 2010
