I'm generally not a fan of short stories, but I have enjoyed Jan Ruth's full-length novels so much I decided I would have to try her shorts (as it were).Five short stories, all completely different in tone and length, but all have a gently diffused Celtic atmosphere that adds to the mood of each story. My favourites are 'Over the Moon' and 'What to do about Clara, but all five stories are beautifully paced and very well written.The opening chapters of Jan Ruth's three novels are each a delicious taster, enticing the reader to sit down and enjoy the full banquet. The shorts are excellent and the novels each a treat in themselves.
