She-Clown, and other stories
Quirky, provocative, and fabulous, these short stories highlight everyday normality and yet firmly shake the roots of your thoughts. Hannah Vincent is a novelist and playwright, I first came across her writing in 2014 when I read Alarm Girl, which I can still clearly remember (bearing in mind just how many books I read, it shows you how powerful her writing is). Although these short stories might leave you with more questions than answers they are actually perfectly formed. Sweary, occasionally shouty, definitely challenging, the mundane is examined, and experienced in a completely different way. She-Clown and Other Stories is a really interesting and decidedly different collection of 16 stories that I can wholeheartedly recommend.
Alarm Girl
A quietly strong and beautiful read that flows eloquently and expressively from the page. Eleven-year-old Indy and her older brother travel to South Africa to stay with their father. Indy speaks of her time away, the author skilfully voices Indy’s honest thoughts and feelings and you can quite literally hear her as you read. Separately we also hear the story of Karen, Indy’s Mum; her tale weaves backwards and forwards through time yet somehow synchronises with Indy’s. As you read further, the unveiling of innermost and very private thoughts enable a window to be opened into a challenging world. Thought-provoking and compelling, this is an intriguing novel.
