A Series of Ordinary Adventures Paperback – May 22, 2012

by Stevie Carroll (Author)
5.0 out of 5 stars 1
See all formats and editions
A wander down a country pathway, a cruise vacation in the Mediterranean, a school reunion, a sandwich eaten in the park - in the stories of Stevie Carroll, the mundane becomes tantalizingly magical. A footballer's mistress gets more than just an apartment when her lover tries to keep her in style; a rock-and-roll bass player finds out that second chances aren't all they're cracked up to be; something sinister lurks beneath the trappings of a travelling carnival. Richly peopled with characters you might meet in the shop around the corner, yet haunted by glimpses of something entirely otherworldly, A Series of Ordinary Adventures will transport you from the streets and lanes of England to a place where imagination is only the beginning. Magical realism mixes with subtle horror and heartfelt romance in a collection of stories that will captivate and transform you long after the final page.

A really 'different' collection of beautifully written short stories, each with an intriguing plot and memorable characters. There are some supernatural elements but the stories are so firmly grounded in actual places and normal behaviour that you forget and are simply swept along until you are lost in their alternate reality and it is too late to disbelieve. It would be hard to choose a 'best' among all the gems but my favourite is probably The Woman Who Hatched A Fairy's Egg.
