Product Description

Ali Smith, GUARDIAN (18.12.04)

'Paul is a writer not just of immense promise...but of the kinds of judgement and skill that make her book a relief to read. Her titles are reminiscent of Carver, and if she's like him in her focus on the broken things of life then she's also like fellow Scottish writer Jackie Kay in her ability to make something fragmentary gleam at its sharp edges...This is fiction that shouldn't be missed.' --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


Review

'a deeply affecting collection of contemporary tales of women of all ages, their lives, hopes and disappointments laid bare with refreshing and at times painful honesty.' (HERALD (22.1.05) )

'Colette Paul's debut is a very fine collection of stories about families and relationships, riddled with self-deception, disappointment, disillusionment and solipsism...Paul achieves a very similar effect to [Raymond] Carver, with a similar economy and grace...she has a distinct voice.' (Laurence Phelan INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY (30.1.05) )

5.0 out of 5 stars Sharp, varied, very engaging, 18 Sep 2009
By Christopher O. Beckett "Chris Beckett" (Cambridge) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Short story collections consisting of little slices of ordinary life can sometimes be dull and worthy. That is absolutely not the case with this book. The stories are about ordinary people in the modern world, but they are wonderfully rich and varied. They are well-written without striving for solemn 'literariness', they are full of sharp little observatios which stay in the mind after the book is finished. My favourite story (the titles are good too by the way) was 'Here: this tragedy': a middle-aged woman who is a lone parent of a child with Down syndrome goes on a date which she has high hopes for. There is so much going on it, that it is like a novel in miniature.
