From the author of The Blue Hour, The Day I Nearly Drowned, and Bird Wing, comes a collection of six short stories to give you a bite-sized taste of her work - readers' favourites from earlier collections.
A young girl struggles to read; an elderly man has an unexpected dinner guest; a woman counts the reasons why her lover should stay... These tales explore the emotions and challenges that ordinary people strive to overcome in the modern world.
Praise for Dreena Collins'Beautifully written - filled with descriptive, sensory text.' AWC, Furious Fiction.'I find it remarkable that some people have the skill to write like this.' Rose Brookins, author.'That Collins is a highly skilled writer is not in doubt. She is a master of the short story format.' Simon Gary, author.'I believe that her style is one that will serve as a model to others. She is a gifted writer, with a unique style of character presentation.' Amanda Snook, copywriter.'Dreena creates strong images with her writing, often focusing on the little details. I felt more like a fly on the wall, has somehow found its way in, to spy on people's private and intimate lives...' Georgie Bull, blogger.'Collins is able to make ordinary struggles emotionally poignant and powerful, reminding us that we all go through more than we think.' MadHatter Reviews'A richly intimate and heartfelt assortment of short stories from an insightful and talented writer.' - Gregory Williams, author.
