This is a wonderful first novel and Greta is a winning heroine. The writing is powerful, lyrical and funny. Read this one!

Unusual Salami and Other Stories

 published as an e-book by Smashwords http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/35506

With humour ('Imaginary Col')or strange lyrical horror (the title story) the characters in this collection struggle to make sense of life with sometimes dreadful consequences. Greg is weirdly empowered by reading a book, Anna escapes an enchantment (or does she?) God creates the world and Arkle is... well, Arkle. Although what IS that raggy brown stuff under the tree in 'Pneumonia'?

A great collection from Frances Clarke, I loved The Glassblower's Daughter (if you haven't read it yet, then you must), and these stories were every bit as good.
