Resonant stories that stay with you March 18, 2006
H. F. Day (Gloucestershire, England)

Although this is a collection of short stories, the voice remains constant and so it feels like glimpses into the life of one person. Although some of the stories have terrible and haunting tragedies at their core, the narrator brings her wit, her kindness and her questioning nature into the stories so that you become completely drawn in, and care very much about the characters. This is a lovely book, easily read but not easily forgotten.

Sharply observed, blackly comic stories of hospital life, described with a mordant humour that underlies their horror.
superb stories - read them June 9, 2004

Patricia Ferguson has a new novel out, It So Happens (Solidus Press)which prompted me to look up her backlist. Shockingly, this is the only book featured. It contains some of the best shrot-stories ever written around a theme of medicine - the author is a nurse - and the title story about nursing a terminally ill pop-singer is one Susan Hill included in her Best Short Stories by Women.
This author is a superb writer, a little reminscent of Muriel Spark, and more so in It So Happens (set in a nursing home). Funny, disquieting, humane she deserves a place on every literate person's shelves.
