Roof Whirl Away

4.9/5 ( ratings)

This is Tom Saunders’ second collection of stories. It follows on from his well-received 2004 debut Brother, What Strange Place is This?

As we have come to expect, the stories in this book are both varied and stylish, with a whole range of vivid characters caught in moments of reverie, indecision and drama. The transformative power of art is examined in Bonny Craigallan. Shame and the political process come together in The Great House of Easement. A 19th century naturalist’s final journey becomes the basis for the poignant Lasting. Sex and love and those moments where the two fail to coincide find a place in Insect Etiquette.

Those who love the endangered species known as the short story will find much to enjoy in these pages. Small worlds can be satisfying worlds and all the more pure for their concision. Lovers of good writing, whatever their preference, will, I am sure, find great pleasures here.
