review 1: Having heard most of this serialised on Radio 4 Extra, much of it was familiar. The title story itself is nicely done but hardly original as Mosse concedes in her authorial notes which accompany each short. Landscape plays a pivotal role throughout as does weather. Thankfully the tales presented are brief and a nicely digestible experience. Similar territory was visited in her earlier 'The Winter Ghosts' but this time the writing is more assured without the endless (and needless) levels of description.
review 2: Bought the paperback when I spotted it cheap in a supermarket, then re-read the stories I'd originally enjoyed plus the new additions. This edition contains two new stories, both very short and originally published in magazines: neither are anything to ... moreget excited about, but (in my opinion) that kind of story rarely is, regardless of who it's written by. Memorable more for specific moments and feelings and bits of scene-settings than for any of the stories as a whole. less
