Alicia Hendley captures the essence of humanity, in all its glorious faultiness.... -- Emily Rae Robles, The Ambitious Ambigue.
A Subtle Thing is a gritty and raw novel that hits the reader in such a powerful and sincere way that putting it down is simply not an option. - Canadian Book Review
Alicia Hendley's wonderfully written first novel is certainly not light reading and there's not much to like about Beth in the early going. But a compelling story gradually emerges about her return from the depths, a climb made more difficult by the attitudes of others who refuse to let her move on, long after the dark days are over. Let's hope she [Alicia Hendley] can find time to keep writing, another baby or not. -- Jon Fear, Kitchener Waterloo Record.
I was blown away by this debut novel. -- Foozago Book Review
