Book Description: Throughout the media, Colette Paul's debut on the literary scene has been hailed as the birth of a startling new talent. In her unsettling, insightful and thoroughly poised collection of short stories she writes with freshness and vigour. : A young woman goes to see the father who left her when she was a baby and ends up having to have a look at him in his coffin, a little girl watches from the top bunk as her older sister gets ready to go out, disappointed schoolgirls lie in wait for flashers, a woman takes her ill child with her on a hot date ... There are echoes of the wit of a young Muriel Spark in these contemporary tales of modern lives, a way of twisting the mundane to make it seem extraordinary. : Review: a deeply affecting collection of contemporary tales of women of all ages, their lives, hopes and disappointments laid bare with refreshing and at times painful honesty. (HERALD (22.1.05)): Colette Paul's debut is a very fine collection of stories about families and relationships, riddled with self-deception, disappointment, disillusionment and solipsism...Paul achieves a very similar effect to [Raymond] Carver, with a similar economy and grace...she has a distinct voice.
