Lord of Illusions cover

This collection of short stories by Dilys Rose is chiefly concerned with exploring the human spirit, through acute observation of human behaviour and detailed imagery.

Praise for Rose's other work:

The shining writing leaves an aftergleam in the mind, a lasting resonance in the ear. - SCOTSMAN ON WAR DOLLS

The stories have a steely rectitude and an uncompromising determination to face down humiliation and inequality - economic, moral and compassionate. - GUARDIAN ON RED TIDES

A writer to watch. - SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

Dilys Rose can be compared to Katherine Mansfield in the way she takes hold of a life and exposes all its vital elements in a few pages. - TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT ON OUR LADY OF THE PICKPOCKETS
