Reviews
"....draws on the richest themes of city storytelling: the thin wall between haves and have-nots and the poignancy of chance encounters... Shopping has a moving meeting between a young man and a surprisingly reflective assistant in a Soho sex shop...' - The Times
'A surprisingly astute soliloquy from a sex shop owner that reminds us to be grateful for what we have.' - The List
