A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"It is remarkable for such a young writer to be so much of herself and not easily influenced in her work. Indeed, the confidence, coolness and maturity of tone in Fresh Apples is exceptional." --The Independent

"A totally original voice...can be easily compared to James Joyce's Dubliners." --Andrew Davies

...they have the emotional power, the simplicity and directness of high quality art. The title story is a moving exploration of adolescent innocence and the way sexual awakening can turn it into a crippling guilt. Here the gleeful, belly-laugh comedy only serves to heighten the tenderness of the story... Each of the book s 170 pages proclaims the quality of the author s writing. She has already mastered the difficult craft of turning passages of descriptive writing into something much more than the mere creation of mood. --Western Mail

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Winner of the Dylan Thomas award, Rachel's first collection of short stories contain wry and defiant statements on the power and the beautiful transience of youth. " Sarah s not abnormal or ugly, just a little bit fat, and she s got cerebral palsy. No way was it rape or even molestation...she s fourteen, not a child. I m not a paedophile. Gemma s mother had shagged Tom Jones. Nobody knows who her father was, least of all her mother. Spiderman doesn t want to inflict his petty thief persona on self-contained Caitlin, but he finds himself getting off at her stop. When her grandad's chickens start to peck each other, sounding like death warmed up, Chelle rings one of their necks and ends up doing worse. Her gentle, exact punishment is met with even greater respect for the old man."
