Words from a Glass Bubble by Vanessa Gebbie

Words from a Glass Bubble by Vanessa Gebbie

This passionate new book gathers together for the first time many of Vanessa Gebbies award-winning stories. Described by Maggie Gee as a prodigiously gifted new writer, she is a natural storyteller; her narratives unfold with a deceptively light touch, exploring with compassion what it is to be human and flawed.

Dodie’s Gift is a beautiful piece.. a real achievement.

Exactly what a short story collection should be: vivid, varied, moving, lyrical, disturbing, entertaining, thought provoking, original. A wonderful read.
