Monique Roffey on ANIMAKassabova is writing about how we forgot the land and our animals and banished many tribes. In doing so, we lost our soul... A classic for our times
Amy-Jane Beer on ELIXIR, Guardian'The mark of a good book is that it changes you... I’ve rarely been so aware of an internal change being wrought, word by word, as I have these past days immersed in Kapka Kassabova’s alchemical prose. I fancy she had me under her spell from page one.'
