Claudia Smith’s debut short story collection is out now from Magic Helicopter Press and it’s a beauty.
From my review: “The stories in Quarry Light display Smith’s lovely prose and use of specific detail as well as her gift for keenly portraying the lives of young girls and women. Particularly in her evocation of childhood, one feels as if these memories and details remain as clear and tangible and compelling to Smith as the present day. This serves the stories and the reader both.”
You can read the full review here at The Lit Pub and also find my recommendations for similar great reads by the likes of Ethel Rohan, Myfanwy Collins, and Dylan Landis.
This book may be ordered direct from Magic Helicopter Press or from Amazon.
Two of my favorite writers in one interview!
Aw, thanks for reading, Gay.
