The Truth Has Arms and Legs 9781915789082 has had some great praise in the press:

  • A Waterstones Leadenhall Market Book of the Year: "Short stories that cover the whole gamut of emotions, each one like a perfect dish."
  • Linda Hill said: "A wonderful, flawless and fantastic collection. The one book you MUST buy this year if you want to read a masterclass of affecting writing."
  • "These are precious things: stories written with delicacy and heart. Chance meetings and significant moments are rendered precisely and to such moving effect, in this deeply skilful and wise collection.” - Wendy Erskine
  • Sally Bayley, the acclaimed author and critic, describes "The Truth Has Arms and Legs" as a collection that captures the essence of human experience.
  • ‘Poignant and perfectly paced, these lovely stories lean towards happy outcomes, compassionate compromises, unexpectedly rewarding friendships and good deeds.
  • There’s hardships and heartache here too, but Fowler’s relatable characters are interested in making the best of difficult situations, ranging from early onset dementia and adoption, to the death of a beloved son – where a hawthorn, hazel, spindle and blackthorn hedge mark his passing in the war (Jack’s Hedge). Poised on the brink of a change, Jenny remembers ‘a man she saw now and then, in whose company she had unfurled like a rose’ (Becoming Your Best You), parents tell their daughter a truth about her birth (Something You Need To Know), while clever, disadvantaged, ten-year-old Maggie runs pell-mell towards her future, like ‘the swift that skims the cornfields. Swooping and dipping’ in the Surrey Hills in the 1920s (The Race).' Eithne Farry, The Daily Mail
