Waterstone’s says: "...some of the most beautifully crafted and engrossing stories that one can read..." The Asham Award website says: "This stunning range of work is not afraid to explore the darker side of human emotion, yet allows us to see the light which often wavers at the end of the bleakest and longest tunnel. These beautifully written stories are in the best literary tradition, lyrical yet understated. "

More than well-deserved, Vanessa. I reviewed Sophie Hannah's book for Tania's short review website. It has some good stories, but can't compare with your collection for sheer variety of style and content.
I've just been to the post office to collect my Amazon box - always exciting although nothing compared to a real book shop but anyway - I'm really looking forward to reading both your collection and Anne Enright's which I ordered. Hoping I might learn something too :-)
Hi both
Thanks for the lovely words, Sarah! I will bring a tape recorder in the car in Ireland, and you can just say nice things into the microphone... that will be sooo good for the soul later on!
and Oslo... lovely to 'see' you. And thank you very much for buying Glass Bubble. I hope you enjoy it.
I too have Ann Enright's book of short stories... that voice in the opening story is wonderful.
Give my love to Norway again!
