All The Little Places

More about the book

Told with hawk's eye observation and acute attention to detail, All The Little Places takes a train ride from the rural village, through the dark and mysterious wood, past the ancient chalk pit and the dead lying in the cemetery, over the salty river and into the city. Curious scraps are stitched together in a poetic-prose tapestry of hints and glimpses into all these little places seen through the window. A shuffled carousel of vignettes is described with haunting imagery; secrets hidden in the passing landscape are revealed in exquisite detail; and strangeness is captivatingly woven through these fairytale fragments which are alive with spirit of place.
