"Hurry Home is a book with a sense of narrative urgency. These stories are clean and spare, passionate and direct about the facts of life, particularly love and riches and the way they don't always go together. As Ravel said of his own music, they are 'complex but not complicated.'" (Charles Baxter)

"Ann Scott Knight's prose is elegant and precise. Her characters live in you long after you've finished the book. This is the debut of a fine young writer." (Robert Boswell)
