A Holiday Read of Short Stories
by
Blanche White
Ideal for the reader who wants to pick up a book for a spare hour or two, A Holiday Read consists of ten short stories, all packed with so much fascinating detail about the setting, the characters and their situations in such a short space of time that each story could almost form a novella.
The author, being the widow of a service man, has travelled a great deal and this is reflected in the wide range of settings, situations and events covered by the stories. They range from a police investigation into the intriguing mystery that lies behind an abandoned car to an alcoholic executive, from recollections of a wartime liaison to visitors from space and a story partly perceived through the eyes of a child and her rather too vivid imagination.
If there is a common thread in these stories it is that nearly all of them highlight the often tenuous relationships within families and between friends or loved ones.
