Playing Sardines |
A 'delicious' collection of short stories written with a poet's eye for language and imagery. 'Delicious' because food is a theme in some of the stories, along with obsession, jealousy and the anticipation of a loved one's return. Her descriptions of food, food stalls, the countryside are so intense that you both see and smell everything. The collection is diverse, as though gathered in a basket. Savour it!
