Synopsis
In this powerful series of short stories Helen Dunmore reveals a harsh, serious world of endless winters and midnight sun. In Short days, Long Nights a woman wakes to find a man in her bed and tries to piece together the jigsaw of the night before. But is he dead or just sleeping? In Girls on Ice two fashion students walk on the frozen sea until they are caught in a snowstorn, out of sight of land. Set as far apart as Finland, the Austrian Tyrol and upstate New York, the worlds of these stores come alive to the touch. Characters, themes and nuances resound from story to story forming unexpected connections and delightful surprises.

From AudioFile
The stories read herein exemplify the genre of the literary watercolor. In pale, delicately drawn scenes of modern life, evocative and elusive, not much really happens, but what does transpire somehow contains significance. Carole Boyd reads in mellifluous BBC diction, drawing out the china-vase prettiness of the lines and displaying a considerable gift for character voices. Unfortunately, her dynamic range is so wide that if one cranks up the volume to hear her pianissimo, one is blasted by the next fortissimo. It is practically impossible to follow her while driving, even with windows shut against outside noise. Y.R. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine
