Product Description

Time Out

Lee's mastery of pace, dialogue and detail make it a joy to read.


Product Description

Subtly linked by the background narrative of a murderer's arrest in Vancouver, the stories in this collection inhabit a dark, urban landscape as they journey into the realm of desperate relationships, of power and impulse, emotional wagers and negotiations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Snippets of imperfect lifes, 13 Jun 2008
By C. PYE "catx" (Norwich, Norfolk United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
We all know life is not perfect and Nancy Lee shows us Snippets of womens lifes who are not perfect - she captures them at their vulnerable moments and portrays the complx way in which the view things in their world and shows so strongly how different womens minds can work.
I loved reading these intimate moments, and was sad when each little story finished i always wanted to delve deeper bit then we would have ended up in 'obvious' narrative territory, as it is, 'Dead Girls' is short sweet and perfectly written.

5.0 out of 5 stars deserves more attention, 13 April 2008
By D. T. Brunetti "manmadeofjam" (North London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Dead Girls (Paperback)
Nancy Lee is one of those books you may pick up because of the cover, or because the title stood out to you. I say that because she's not a known name, and as such may be picked out purely on aesthetic in library. Because that's how I found her, and I'm all the better for it. She's quietly poetic, a little morbid, intelligent and darkly comic. Simple moments are blown up, stories unwound before your eyes without so much as a few sentences.

This is a collection of short stories and I hope to see more by her.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quirky, dark work with great characters, 26 Sep 2006
This review is from: Dead Girls (Paperback)
This wonderful collection of short stories explores all sorts of relationships. There is a great deal of humanity in the characters Nancy Lee has created. Highly recommended.
