Industry Reviews
"[C]aptivating and beautifully written....CONFESSIONS is a rich canvas of colorful characters and fantastic events rendered by an artist attentive to every surface and texture."
Freeman
"Maguire may choose to launch his story with a children's fairy tale, but his ideas are anything but childlike. Adult and sophisticated, his musings on beauty, ugliness, magic, reality and imagination explore how our past follows us always and shapes our self-perception and how we see ourselves in the world....All the characters are precisely drawn, their motives plain for us to see, although they usually mistake each other's desires and ambitions....[A] bewitching story..."
