5.0 out of 5 stars A Treat to Read 10 Jan 2012
By M. Meredith
Format:Paperback
Rebecca's second book, her collection of short stories (four of them previously published elsewhere), entitled A Knowing Look and Other Stories, is a treat to read. Rebecca presents us with a varied collection, from the poignant first story A Knowing Look - a beautiful, but heart wrenching story set in Africa (it made me shed a few tears) - to a little sci-fi in A Step Too Far, painting a scary future for the mothers among us, then touching on love and loss, separation and a new beginning in As Fast as You Can. Not giving too much away, further stories touch on a little lightly spiced revenge(that'll teach them!), a birds' eye view of the Human, and his artificial dwellings encroaching on `their' natural habitat, as well as stories touching on the human condition in all its hues, including my favourite On the Corner of Clerk Street. That one sent goose-bumps up my spine as it came to a very clever, unexpected conclusion. It's clever work, this!
An excellent collection of short stories and flash fiction, varied in content and eloquently written - and leaving the reader wanting more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Stunning Collection 2 Jan 2012
By Bluefairy
Format:Kindle Edition
I recently had the pleasure of reading this book (in paperback) which is a collection of short stories written by Rebecca Emin. There is a real mix of stories in the book, aimed at the adult audience, some short and punchy, others exploring emotions obviously linked to the authors experiences and thoughts. I wasn't disappointed in this collection, loved every piece of writing and look forward to reading more by this author.
