A man carries his girlfriend in the left-hand breast pocket of his shirt. During World War II, a young soldier searches the houses and barns of the families with whom he grew up. An astronaut wonders whether she can adapt to life back on earth.
In her second collection of short fiction, 100ne Hundred, Laura Besley explores a kaleidoscope of emotions through 100 stories of exactly 100 words.
So much of life is packed into these stories, precious moments and sad ones, humour and grief, gorgeous nuggets of hope and stinging barbs of hurt.
Ellie Hawkes
Laura has created beautiful snapshots, each one alive with precision and emotion. Each story excels in its originality, each one a complete tale, each carefully crafted without a word to spare.Bookbound
With this collection I soon lost track of how many ‘wows’ I was uttering.. Morgen Bailey
