“Harriot West’s art is to layer minutely observed details in the service of subtlety and ambiguity. Every detail is a clue in a tiny mystery, one whose solution we intuit but that is never made explicit. This, we realize at last, is the nature of life . . .”
— Melissa Allen
“I am both bruised and stilled after reading West’s Shades of Absence, not from any trace of sentimentality but by her fierce intelligence and poignant insight. I found mysself in these narratives and epiphanies of belonging and identity, of childhood, love and mortality and I know myelf a little more from reading them.”
— Lynne Rees
