Telling Tales by Susan Price
Split into four sections, this collection of stories deals with important markers in people's lives: birth, marriage, leaving home and death. Connected by the varied voices of the three women: Clo, a young woman, Letty, a middle-aged woman and Granny Shearing, an elderly woman, each section carries a story on a similar theme from each of the three generations, told with humour and wisdom in Susan Price's own inimitable way.
Convincing and beautiful, you'll want to read and reread them all again, purely for pleasure* The Daily Telegraph *
Praise for NIGHTCOMERS. 'Every tale shows the quality of the imagination, and the accuracy of the telling. What most impresses is the authority of Susan Price's voice: exact, rich or spare when necessary, able to evoke the Past without falsity, and the present without effort.' * Philip Pullman in Guardian Education: *
Praise for THE STORY COLLECTOR. 'An exceptionally fine book.' * Literary Review *
Praise for THE STORY COLLECTOR. 'Enthralling...' * The Independent on Sunday *
