Found on the bookshelf at work: a book of short stories I am enjoying them more towards the end of the book.
CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:
Going back on the bookshelf at work. I took the liberty of giving this a BCID as it had been on the shelf for 2 1/2 years before I read it!
A little bit tatty, but I have rescued this as I saw it on a wishlist!

Loved all the stories. I read half travelling to and from London to meet a Bxr friend for the day. I was going to pick my favourite but can't as it would end up being all of them. I do think that one could easily be transformd into a full length novel - Red and Green Beads. I'd love to know much more about the characters' histories.
Susan Hill is one of my tip top favourite authors. I absolutely love anything she writes. I once read someone's review of her books syaing she's stuck in a 1950s time warp. There might be some truth in that! However I don't view that as a weakness or criticism at all.
This copy may have been partly studied for a course as the first few stories have underlined phrases. I found this irritating AND intriging. I'd like to have read the resulting essay given the passages underlined.
I've done a bit of a rubbish repair on the book as it came to me with loose pages (but then I think it might be rather old.) I think it's probably not going to be travelling for too much longer due to the state its in.
Sending as a RABCK to another Bxr whose courage made me cry on a BC related site.

I know it's a bit battered, it came to me like this, but it's a really good collection of short stories. I hope you will enjoy them too.

RABCK gratefully received. It looks well loved. (Please don't cry. The easiest way to deal with illness is just to go on living. :-) )
