The BBC National Short Story Award 2019 Reviews

'A gem of a book with five memorable works from yet another all-female shortlist. Each story is perfectly formed and I don't envy the judges choosing a single winner. Be prepared to travel on a roller-coaster of emotions as we shape shift along with Lynda Clark's charming story, 'Ghillie's Mum', or have our hearts broken by the inhumanity exposed in Lucy Caldwell's masterful 'The Children'. Tamsin Grey's 'My Beautiful Millennial' is a portrait of urban loneliness that haunted me long after I had read the last page, while Jo Lloyd deftly interrogates social and economic inequality in 'The Invisible' but with humour and superstition. Jacqueline Crooks courageously captures the anxiety of an immigrant family in an unwelcoming city in 'Silver Fish in the Midnight Sea'. These stories collectively represent the best of contemporary storytelling in any form.' - Ingrid Persaud, winner of the 2018 BBC National Short Story Award
