This is a brand new author to me. Short stories are a great way to decide if you like their writing style, and I definitely do!
The Singing Road is an entertaining collection of stories. There really is an excellent mixture of subjects in this book.
There is even a story called The Singing Road, which was interesting.
I also thought it cool that one story had a ‘Karen’ in it. The name has fallen out of the favour in recent years, so, it was good to see it used.
Although there were lots of entertaining stories, my favourite was The Green Stain. I’ve added it to my favourite bits below. It’s the first one. The bit I really thought was clever, was the ending, but of course I can’t give that away!
Highly recommended. Give it a read, you won’t be disappointed.
This book description.
Not all self-discovery is positive …
A woman listens to the song of the road and wonders if she has the strength to stay with her husband, this time. A journalist visits the opera and discovers a bitter history of failure alongside the music. An angry young boy finds the beach is not always a place of healing, and two lovers face their last day together with something like courage.
In this collection of twelve thought-provoking stories, a variety of very different characters confront the brokenness and despair of their lives, and begin a tentative journey towards the possibility of hope. Can they ever find their way back to the people they used to be?
Perfect for fans of stories that make you think …

My Favourite Bits
That is the end of my story. Is it what you wanted to hear? No matter. I have told it nonetheless. Some things cannot be silent. No, please don’t go. Not yet. There is something you need to do for me.
Hugging himself, he rocks once, twice, and then the fit is over. He can catch his breath again. In the bed, Karen stirs and moans. His heart pounds a staccato rhythm on his chest’s frail cage and he struggles to hear if he has woken her.
“Fancy seeing you here,” said a voice behind her. It was an old man’s voice, coarse and low. When Maggie turned round, there was no-one.
