Críticas:

"there are delightful surprises in the collection. There are writers represented from whom we should hope to hear a lot more in the future. Among them, I would count David Mathews, whose Wednesday Afternoon is a warm and curious tale of a middle-aged adulterous couple, whose relationship involves them meeting every Wednesday for sex; the routine demands that they follow a manual of 98 love-making positions , in strict sequence, rating the experience from one to five at the end of the afternoon. Their story is narrated by the owner of the guest-house where they meet, and her non-judgemental attitude contributes to the pleasure the reader gets from a narrative which might otherwise seem a little sleazy, or even cold. " --Felicity Skelton, Sabotage

Reseña del editor:

Winning stories from the First Solstice Shorts Festival competition together with a story from each of the competition judges. Sixteen short stories that chart the meaning of time, and explore what it can do to us, and for us. Broken hearts, lives lived on fastforward, missed chances, and catastrophic meetings on the road. Time stolen, time wasted, time captured and time lost. A warning from the past, a second that changes a life, a failed glimpse into the future and a study of funeral rites. Ready-made families, weekly liaisons, and an all-night radio show. From the First ever Solstice Shorts Festival originally read live in 2014 on the Greenwich Meridian, on the shortest day of the year, from sunrise to sunset. Stories from Judges Robert Shearman, Anita Sethi, Alison Moore, Imogen Robertson and winning writers Andrew Gepp, Cindy George, David Mathews, David Turnbull, Dizz Tate, Emma Timpany, Helen Morris, Jayne Pickering, Pippa Gladhill, Sarah Evans, Tannith Perry, William Davidson
