My review -
This
is a collection of the five winners of the BBC short story competition for
2015. I read it on the recommendation of a friend, and, though the stories are
very different, they are all extremely good reading. They encapsulate the
technique of condensing an idea and making every phrase work hard. Yet it's
done effortlessly. For some reason there seemed to be a formatting problem with
the eBook, resulting in the occasional running together of words - likethis.
Not enough to spoil the read, though. If, like me, you enjoy the short story
form, this is a great read.
