It's Gone Dark Over Bill's Mother's by Lisa Blower
The title is a Potteries' saying that means it's looking a bit bleak, a little like rain - an expression that sums up this fabulous debut collection of award-winning stories by Lisa Blower. Blower celebrates her characters with stories that they wouldn't want told. She makes the bleak funny, in a voice reminiscent of Alan Bennett, and strikes a new chord in regional and working-class fiction.
Blower, Lisa: - Lisa Blower won The Guardian's National Short Story competition in 2009, was shortlisted for the BBC National Short Story Award in 2013, has been Highly Commended and longlisted for the Bridport Prize for three consecutive years, and was one of just four UK authors longlisted for The Sunday Times Short Story Award 2018.
