As In Music

At times bleak and challenging,  at times poignant, mellow  or bizarre and full of unexpected humour, these  stories range widely.  In Lambing, the  tyranny of a male dominated  rural community receives an abrupt and fierce  reversal.  Elsewhere, a group of tourists living in an age of rampant global warning search for meaning in a lost civilisation and its buildings; a teenage mother struggles to come to terms with her baby son, and Madeleine, anger personified, fights a losing battle against the onset of love.  A haunting and eloquent collection of short stories, which confirms  Kathy Page’s power and versatility as a storyteller.

'Page can be every bit as good as Ballard.'
 Judy Cooke, The Guardian.
 
'a collection of writings which, through a sophisticated cast of lost souls, studies the meaning of love, civilisation, sex battles and kissing. Funny, poignant and bizarre by turn..'
Suzanne Askham, New Woman.
