'SOTC is great fun. Playful, witty, satirical and erotic, with a great deal of word-play mized with the foreplay, it makes ideal holiday reading'

A darkly post-modern fairy-tale for the This Life generation ... A wise, witty, wicked book (Scotsman)
'Now there is an antidote to all the saccharine. SOTC by S D is an ingenious satire. What if a princess were created without a heart and with a desire to deparate allcouple, gay partnerships included - all becuase the compasion fairy got stuck in the Tube train and didn't deliver her gift of grace?'
(NZ)
'Far too many tired, bitter books claim to be satires on modern relationships. However this one is both mercilessly undercutting and very funny. I t is a sect, lively fairytale in which no one is allowed to live happily ever after...a good read for when you're feeling cynical about romantic sweetness and coupledom and need a good laugh'
E. Post, NZ
