The seventeen stories which make
up the short story collection found in Sweet
Home explore the very ordinariness of everyday life and yet, the stories
themselves are all far from ordinary. Delightfully quirky, often with a twist you
don't see coming, the stories are a perfect example of the short story genre. All
are crisp, beautifully observed vignettes which individually highlight the
vagaries of modern family life and which tug away at your consciousness until
the stories get right into your soul. Even now, days after finishing the stories,
I want to climb back into the book to read them all again.
To say more would be to spoil the
effort which this fine author has put into each individual story, but suffice
to say, you could pick up this book at the start of any story and I guarantee that
you will want to read on until the end, just to see what happens.
With a complete blend of light
and dark, happy and sad, mischievous and the distinctly odd, there is no doubt
that Sweet Home shows life in all its many guises.
Best Read with ….a nice cup of
tea and a gingerbread biscuit…
