Like Fado (Paperback)

Paperback. Longlisted for the Edge Hill PrizeLike Fado consists of thirteen individual stories that culminate in the extended novella-like story, Whitethorn. Each story takes us into the lived experience and psychological dilemmas of its characters, dissolving certitude in favour of richly ambivalent and suggestive endings as storylines merge and diverge, enriching each other through their narrative resonance. The natural world is brought to life in vivid detail in locations that range from the North-West of England to Europe and Africa, whilst the interior lives of characters form the dramatic locus of each piece, rendered in language that is precise, lyrical and evocative. Glittering stories drawn from around the world showing an acute sense of history and of vivid and often critical present moments.
