Described as ‘poignant, haunting and immensely readable’, Last Fling is Sue Gee’s new collection of short stories and is available to order from Amazon.
Sue Gee’s stories are remarkable for their precision and economy – she establishes a character in a few lines, conjures up an entire situation with an allusion, an aside. She has that enviable quality of telling most by saying least – this is a lovely collection, sometimes sad, sometimes funny.
Penelope Lively
Irresistible … Last Fling – is about the unexpected nature of consolation … Other [stories] deal with crisis – a mother realises her husband is planning to leave her when their son finishes school, a woman agonises over whether a lifetime friend should become her lover. But all of them seem to be saying that only an honest understanding of the past provides the clue to a happier future.
