STORIES TO GO

Ninety-Three Very Short Stories

This book has been written for those of us who are on the go, busy, in a waiting room, an aircraft, commuting or just wanting a quick read with a coffee. You should be able to read each story in under five minutes. The stories do not have a common theme - some are amusing, some sad, some about relationships, some are based abroad or in a different time - but all encapsulate the human condition.

Short stories compendium

Sue Cross has won awards for her short stories and many of these are very relatable to most of us. "Stories to Go" are just that: easy to dip into while waiting at the doctor's, the dentist's or the bus. Sue Cross's cosmopolitan and much-traveled background comes through in her stories and there's always an interesting twist in the end. As a British expat living in the US, I had no problem relating to some geographical references and English idioms such as pinny for apron. Each one of the ninety-three short stories is unique and I find it difficult to single my favorites but I did find "Mother's Word of Wisdom". "Head Banging", "On the Rocks", "A Moving Experience", really entertaining. There is something for everybody in this book and I certainly recommend it.
