** SLY, ANXIOUSLY FUNNY **

The first review is in for Old Romantics, Maggie Armstrong's 'interlinked series of sly, anxiously funny stories'.

Eithne Farry describes the collection's 'secret tears, sour regrets and emotional hangovers' in the Daily Mail, noting that the 'distrust, recrimination and alienation' are 'all acutely observed by Armstrong'. We agree!

Old Romantics will be launched in on April 19th at 6pm, we hope to see you there.
