![]() ![]() I read it over the course of a couple of weeks, and the further I got into it, the more I grew to love it. This debut collection of short stories by Irish author Louise Kennedy will be published in April. This is Irish literature at its best, highly recommended. While 15 stories is a good number to stop on, I was left wanting even more.įor me, the author doesn’t make a single mis step. A few of them struck a harder chord than I was prepared for and ultimately left me a little broken. This time however I was absolutely blown away by each and every story in this collection. While there are moments of joy within these stories, they mostly show a bleak side of life.Īs has been mentioned in a few other reviews I have seen, the typical short story collection will include a couple that don’t match up to the quality of the better ones. ![]() What I will say that all the stories took me through a rollercoaster – but I also felt a bit like my emotions had been through a sparring session with Katie Taylor, I was battered and bruised. I’m going to keep it short and sweet here, I’m not going to go into which stories I favoured more than others – as I honestly can’t pick between them. I usually read them in the mornings before work, and it is something I plan on continuing with some of the other story collections on my shelf. ![]()
