​Reviews

​

'In This Dark Architect and Other Grim Tales, Jeffs takes us into worlds of darkness and decay in which the slow tread of the survivor is like the beat of a bitter heart. Stories of sadness and sacrifice, in which hope glitters like a black diamond, and reminds us that love makes us hold tight, even sometimes when we should let go. This is a masterclass of insightful story telling.
 '

Pamela's writing is like a powerful picture painted with brilliantly coloured words. It pins the reader from the first sentence and to the last word, leaving you craving more.
