There's More to Life than Death by Anne Forrest

 

Behind the death of a person, a building or a place, life goes on.

Here is a strong sense of many places: rural North Wales, a quarry, the woods, a Welsh Woollen Mill storeroom, the banks of the Atchafalaya River, a claustrophobic swampland shack, the Texas panhandle and more.  

 

And there are people. Quinn maybe protects two brothers, from their dead Mam’s sexual secrets. Febby plans her escape. Mostyn has to please his publisher and Mary Mc Allister still nurses the Infant Jesus years after her own baby died.

Anne Forrest paints colourful word pictures of these people and places in There’s More to Life than Death.

"An intriguing title for this collection of well-crafted stories, and at times the reader might be forgiven for wondering what more there is, and trying to side-step the conclusion that everything else on offer seems to be worse than death.

"There is certainly more to life than death here and these stories will leave the reader eager for more."

 

I'm a Big Boy Now by Eamon O'Leary

 


Your passport to an Irish boyhood in a less frantic, more adventurous age, reliving a time of skinned knees and home-made go-karts, clean dirt, Saturday night baths, and the kind of sweets that’d nearly cost you your teeth. Back when it always seemed to snow at Christmas, the summers were long and golden, and the friendships were forever.

Eamon O’Leary gives us a glimpse of uncomplicated childhood in I’m a Big Boy Now.
