I am already familiar with the authors work after reading her novel Make a Joyful Noise and another selection of her short stories entitled Infant Barbarian both of which I would highly recommend. What I particularly love about Jenny Worstalls writing is her amazing ability to observe and capture the multitude of different emotions we experience as we journey through life.First up in this book of delights is `Forever' a tale of aging and family ties. Beautifully written, poignant and yet uplifting.`Waiting' Is written from the perspective of a piano teacher  coming to terms with loss and wanting to move on to a new chapter in her life and a new love. Once again a brilliantly constructed story, the author herself has a background in music and this gives the story an added dimension.`Lemon and Lace' is the last of this fabulous selection and transports the reader into a children's ballet class where the main character, the class pianist, muses over an argument she had earlier in the day with her husband.Jenny Worstall writes with such expertise and clearly has a gift for portraying and conveying many aspects of life. I shall definitely be looking out for more stories from her in the future.
