This is the second book of short stories I have read from Jenny Worstall after discovering her full length novel Make a Joyful Noise which I thoroughly enjoyed.I love how the author totally draws the reader into each of her stories which are utterly engaging and at times dark and twisty! The perfect read for when you fancy dipping into someone elses life and don't feel like ploughing through a full length book.Jubilee Violin instantly captivated me with a beautifully descriptive first paragraph that unfolded into a mesmerising tale of age, youth and music.Turning Point in total contrast is a down to earth tale of motherhood and temporary loss of freedom. As a reader we see how a mother struggles to come to terms with the changes in her life and her discovery that motherhood can be an amazing experience.Dolls House cuts straight to the chase with a woman musing over murdering her husband while her young daughter plays with her dolls house. There is a clear message that you should be very careful what you tell your children!
