The Knife-Thrower's Partner courageously explores a heart that aches for danger and - paradoxically - for more life. Smith cultivates the sensibilities of his narrator until the reader blooms from sympathy with this woman whose hard childhood has led her to a strange profession. This book describes a self-contained parallel universe that has everything to do with our own. - Bill Tremblay
