'Our first weeks living in Malta were a shock. We arrived in high summer in 1970 and, from the air, the island looked like a patch of charred earth - not what we imagined a Mediterranean island to be. As Malta is only 60 miles from Libya, it felt as if we'd landed in North Africa. Everything was an assault on the senses. It was a totally new experience for me, but a time when I could think and absorb this new world. I breathed in what Lawrence Durrell (I was a big fan) called the spirit of place and of course I had time to write.'
Wendy's early stories reflect that mood, not only of Malta but in other countries too. Later, as her writing developed, the narrative became more character driven and branched out into different styles and played about with plot and dialogue and of course, what she calls her 'fluffy' stories.
This collection reflects these changes of over many years and aims for an eclectic mix for any reader to find something they enjoy.
