As a writer it’s always such a delight to receive positive and thoughtful responses to your book.

Thank you to Yvonne Jewkes, author of An Architecture of Hope (Scribe, 2024), for her review of my book In Their Absence.

Here is what Yvonne said:

“Perfect reading for a weekend - Hannah Stevens’ short story collection ‘In Their Absence’ is an accomplished debut about people who go missing and those who are left behind. Some of the stories are delicate and poignant, some quietly unnerving and macabre, but all are written with skill and an understanding of the craft. They are cleverly interlinked with a momentum that carries you through as a reader. Above all, they are just really beautifully written. I loved this book.”
