Welcome to Litsy!

*Ally read novels, wrapped up in her duvet beside the central-heating radiator in her bedroom, borrowing them from the centre & the public library, sometimes finishing one & starting another without even changing her position or getting up to make coffee, like an addict...She imagined the reading that she did now as like climbing inside one of those deep old beds she'd seen in a museum, with a sliding door to close behind you...*

I hadn't realised this was all short stories. Usually I wouldn't be bothered about reading it but I found most of them pretty good. Some felt they just stopped but I guess that's like a snippet of a life, s snapshot.

I think ive read one other by her which I enjoyed.
This cover leapt out at the library!

A really strong collection of short stories. Instantly you are connected and immersed without having to force it. The characters are all easy to relate to and so much is carefully hinted at and revealed through actions in a way that lets you draw your own conclusions.
