“A subtle and skilful writer, whose work stood out in ‘Seven Days’, Seaman (now) paints a deliciously catty portrait of an ambitious politician’s holiday with his family, told from the perspective of the three women… who take part it in.”
Ann Morgan – The Roundtable Review

"E.C. Seaman's is a story to remember. One cannot help letting (your) mind go back to it, every now and then - and that is one of the telling signs of a good story, isn't it? It is impossible not to feel the special atmosphere of the story...”
Kfir Luzzato - Editor.
