Content

In ‘Light My Fire’ a passionate relationship cannot withstand a clash of tastes and an ancient Aga: a housewife’s life is transformed when she starts to see angels in ‘Walking with Angels’: and ‘Garden Guerillas’ follows a widow plotting an elaborate horticultural revenge on her daughter-in-law. Despite being framed by domesticity, these stories are wickedly potent and each has a string in its tale.

Gritty and flinty. I loved all three ‘novellas’ in this collection, really well written – Tasha Griggs –
