Review Quotes:
"
The Infinite Sadness of Small Appliances is an extraordinary work. Fresh, original and with an intelligent, thoughtful undertone reminiscent of
Black Mirror; it's a modern 'fairytale' that's deceptively cozy and simple. It will touch your heart and mind in ways you will not see coming, and leave you with plenty to think about. This is
Animal Farm for the 21st Century."
--Janice Hallett, international bestselling author of The Killer Question
