The human beings described in these stories will make you laugh, weep and sometimes they’ll make you throw up your hands in utter disbelief.

Intriguing debut collection of short stories by Felicity Harley By Kirkus Review The scope and interior quality in each of these stories, in differing ways, creates a compelling collection. There was not one I didn't find interesting or that lost me along the way. Felicity Harley's deep sympathy and insight into diverse human experience brings each one to life.I found the first four stories in the collection quite different than the second half. The mysterious muted sense of hurt and inequity is beautifully rendered, the simplicity in the telling deceptive for each piece is deeply told. The characters seem to drift on currents they can't resist, searching and restless and helpless in the grip of love. The language I found to be sensuous and luscious, the stories' movement flowing easily and naturally. The descriptiveness combined with an interesting imprecision was fascinating, as were the scents, tastes, sounds and impressions introduced. I totally loved each and every one of them. Of them, I think I most enjoyed Love and Persia, The Art Dealer, and The Death of a Coat. Some really great knock you dead lines -...some people kill you, it's not their fault, and it's not yours, but they kill you - and sometimes you kill them.a slow awakening to the old Persia she had read about, and it brought satiety to her hunger...The second half They/Them/Us introduced another mood - more conscious and underpinned by moral concerns. I liked all of them once again. Some read like cautionary tales, narrated with a sense of imparting a message - none hit you over the head with the moral, intriguing journeys into other places and other lives, creating empathy for even the unsympathetic. Pon de Wall, Ben, The Wine of Life and In the Pursuit of Happiness stood out, Your Daughter Tasted Like Fish both beautiful in its love, and devastating in its conclusion. Some like The Survivalists, Divers and Floaters and First Ladies, full of interesting insights, make statements but are so interesting and unforced that they work. "She couldn't help being a diver; it was what made her happy," struck a responsive chord in me, as "the race they began together as equals, still greatly favored him," also did.A marvelous debut collection by this writer of ability and promise.
