Críticas:
"A very enjoyable display of deadly wit given with a relaxed literary confidence. Here is a gossipy, smart, critical, intellectual, high spirited and literate voice" (Hal Jensen Times Literary Supplement)
"Clever and enjoyable... This is an accomplished first book, and even if Stevenson never writes another word, she is already more than promising" (Phil Baker Sunday Times)
"What continuously sustains these stories is an unfashionable concept of serious fiction as etnertainment, an art in which the process is as enjoyable as the effects it is designed to produce... Relish the neat professionalism of a smart new act" (Jonathan Keates Independent)
"Stevenson's careful plotting and attention to detail prove she is a new voice worth listening to" (The Times)

These four novellas are narrated by a brilliantly distinctive voice telling the stories of an Anglo-Italian Professor of Semiotics undone by his own cleverness; an Irish woman who joins a Tibetan nunnery in India; the old university friends whose party is galvanised by a pugnacious newcomer into a demented Buchanesque mission to restore their hostess's lost humour; and an international lawyer who takes to terrorism in pursuit of a theory. Several Deceptions is clever, funny and a little cruel and introduces a writer of quite remarkable gifts.
