Nina Allan has won the BSFA Award for Short Fiction, the prestigious Grand Prix de l'Imaginaire, and the Aeon Award. She has been shortlisted for the British Fantasy Award four times and was a finalist for the 2014 Shirley Jackson Award.
"A twisting, haunting work of speculative fantasy, pulsing with the
dull ache of a fading dream and intoxicating its audience with
disorienting what-ifs.... Working through the eerie and
mysterious locations of Nina Allan’s book requires concentration,
imagination, and an eye for detail, but all are rewarded. This
funky trek through time should not be missed." --Foreword
Review
"Allan’s prose is consistently ultra-lucid; unsentimental yet
capable of evoking deep emotions; and simultaneously full of
gravitas and the quotidian muck and mire of life. The characters in
all their permutations are totally believable, and a sense of
life’s multifarious possibilities—traps and evasions—radiates off
them. Of course, the very architecture of the book brilliantly
embodies and reflects the physics and metaphysics of her conception
of time as well. Readers who cherish Wolfe’s The Fifth
Head of Cerberus for its insidiously thrilling mind games now
finally have a volume to stand proudly alongside that classic." -
