A collection that speaks of small triumphs, of the everyday, with quite sarcastic language at times. Of course, although it is a relatively daily and intimate narrative, there is room for elements typical of fantasy and fairy tales. – Rubencubiella, Bookstagrammer
Hannah is an absolute superstar and we love this collection of stories which depict the ordinary and extraordinary lives of women coping with the demands of society, of men, of their fellow women and of their own bodies. – The Feminist Bookshop
...a solid piece of fiction! Hannah Vincent has written an ethereal and extremely insightful collection… Beautifully structured, ingenious storytelling, immensely powerful and a sating read. It is the perfect book to pick up during quarantine with its fierceness and lighthearted vibe. This gets my most enthusiastic recommendation. – The Biblio Sara, Bookstagrammer 4.5/5 star review
I enjoyed these short stories so much... In every story she lures you into a whole new world, full of surprises and complex characters... One of the best short story collections I’ve read. – Femi Books, Bookstagrammer
Writing about women takes a lot of courage and sensitivity. In this case, Vincent delves deeper into the feminine psyche, and incorporates them into her characters. With a greater understanding of their emotions and behaviour, these characters become sublime and multi-faceted. She’s a talented writer whose strength lies in turning ordinary stories into something extraordinary. Ultimately, She-Clown and Other Stories is a page-turner, and with every page, it will invigorate your soul. Now, that certainly establishes her as one of the freshest voices in contemporary fiction. – Yang Ming, Ink Pantry
Reminiscent of Miranda July... The magic of her stories lies in the mundane. – Jodie Reads Books, Bookstagrammer
Gorgeous cover illustration by her sister, did sway me to indulge but what's between the covers is so intriguing and every word is chosen with power and care. A modern Katherine Mansfield and this book will sit alongside other favourite collections by Miranda July, Tove Jannson and Angela Carter. – Originary Arts
Hannah is an incredible writer. – City Books Bookshop
If you’re looking for some fabulous new stories, we can highly recommend Hannah Vincent's collection of short stories. [They are] exactly what we need right now! – Feminist Bookshop Brighton
I read She Clown and other stories in a single day. These short stories, which follow the lives of women as they 'perform' their femininity, go from the ordinary to the surreal. – Yasminerosereads, Bookstagrammer
Vincent explores her feminist theme with wit and humour, occasionally bringing her readers up short with a touch of the surreal. It takes quite a degree of discipline to tell a story in ten pages or fewer, as so many of the pieces in this collection are, but Vincent carries it off beautifully. Her sharp attention to detail, smartly demonstrated in Woman of the Year, and clean, spare writing coupled with the delivery of more than a few surprises, small twists and subversive details, make this a pleasing collection. – A Life in Books
A stylistically varied collection [and] a thought-provoking read. And, for the diligent reader, a special surprise unfolds in the final story. – Anne Hill, Sussex Life
From the ordinary to the magical, Vincent’s entertaining stories are fresh, thoughtful and surprising. – Antonia Charlesworth, Big Issue North
Quirky, provocative, and fabulous, these short stories highlight everyday normality and yet firmly shake the roots of your thoughts. A decidedly different collection of 16 stories that I can wholeheartedly recommend. – Liz Robinson, Love Reading
