“Flather’s stories delve into the struggles of individuals, within a family or longing for a happy one. Her sense of place, including BC, the Yukon, and southeast Asia is convincing, and overall her ability to indicate the humanity in all kinds of characters makes for a gratifying reading experience.” – The BC Review (full review HERE)

“Such a Lovely Afternoon, by Patti Flather, is a wonderful and pristine collection of short stories.  Published by Inanna Publications, the reader becomes aware from the outset of their significance as narratives of agency for women.  In each of the nine pieces, setting is inseparable from the trajectory of the story itself.” – Lucy E.M. Black, Goodreads/The Artisanal Writer

“I enjoyed how powerful, independent, and confident Flather was able to make her main characters, even while they were at their most vulnerable.” – Hiedi Cuppage/The Northern Review
