'In Permission to Lie, Julie Chevalier casts a curious eye into many different worlds. Her characters ride the citybound bus route, spend the night in a nudists colony and wait tables. We encounter those who have something to hide, something they yearn for or something they are yet to uncover. Experience breeds suspicion, disillusion and cynicism. Yet, Chevalier's stories show us characters who will risk their hearts, nonetheless. Quirky and beautifully written, these stories provide insights that ring with integrity and compassion.'
