"This collection of 16 short stories is a thought provoking read."
Often provocative, intriguing and challenging yet with the wonderful ability to offer gentle affection and compassion, this collection of 16 short stories is a thought provoking read. Some of the stories are shorter than short, some are likely to raise eyebrows by focusing on the different, peculiar and sometimes taboo, all however are impactive. With a cast of distinctive characters, often isolated and lost, the author never offers judgement, she discloses the details and outcomes of deepest darkest thoughts with consideration and care. While these stories may occasionally skim and skip across the surface of bizarre, there is a whisper and caress of truth, of optimism and hope floating across the pages, that makes this an absolutely fascinating little book.
