Product Description

Product Description

This is a collection of 30 stories by Barbara Erskine: most contemporary, a few historical, some spooky or humorous, many of them love stories. This is the second volume of stories created for the women's magazine market over recent years, including a number written especially for this volume.

From the Back Cover

In her second volume of short stories, which follows the hugely successful 'Encounters', Barbara Erskine has created a wide and vivid range of worlds and emotions, from love, romance, loneliness, grief, to betrayal, passion, adventure, and compelling suspense.

A biographer investigating a tragic death hears voices from the past drawing her towards the truth…A nineteenth century parson’s daughter is caught up in the excitement and romance of a smuggling intrigue…A young boy from a deprived background finds his own haven in the wastelands of the inner city… A young woman, struggling to choose between love or her career, finds help from an unexpected source…

Contemporary, historical, spooky, humorous, there are over thirty delightful stories, each one guaranteed to capture the reader’s imagination, and all demonstrating Barbara Erskine’s unique powers as a storyteller.

“Readers of Barbara Erskine are held in thrall”
WOMAN’S REALM

“Vivid, romantic, and deliciously scary”

not as expected 11 April 2005
Format:Paperback
I didnt enjoy this book at all. I have read most of Barbara Erskine's books which I found once started were unable to put down. However, this collection of 30 short stories didn't have that "magic" feel at all. I found it extremely difficult to stay with the book as it just didnt hold my concentration. If you have read any of Erskine's other books - such as Whispers in the
Sand, House of Echoes, Midnight is a Lonely Place and are a fan of scary, magical,suspense novels then I dont think this is the right book for you.

A real treat for established Barbara Erskine fans as well as a splendid introduction to new readers. This book contains THIRTY short stories - although three are lengthy enough to be practically novellas. This volume illustrates the versatility of an author who can turn her hand, successfully, to many genres from pure romance to chilly spine-tinglers, historical to contemporary. No sooner are you gently lulled into a sense of romantic contentment and well-being, than she thrusts you again into the maelstrom of suspense. There is something for everyone in this volume. I highly recommend it.

An enjoyable collection of short stories, varied enough to entertain everyone! The author writes wonderful stories, including funny ones, happy ones, romantic ones and those creepy ones with a little twist in the tale! Great stuff!
