Review: A great trio of short stories
Rating: 4 out of 5

A trio of stories set within a Welsh backdrop exploring succinctly the lives of three very different groups of people.‘Home Sweet Home’ starts off with two broken relationships and the victims coming together accidently. This story is slightly sinister in places leaving the impression that things may not be as cosy as they seem.‘A Long Way from Home’ is set from the perspective of a returning father from Australia to attend his daughter’s wedding after the break-up of his marriage. A slightly humorous take on the lack of communication of the extended family dynamics with a surprising twist at the end.‘Home to Where the Heart Is’ is a love-at-first sight romance involving a hard hearted American business man who brings his daughter-in-law to help him acquire a picturesque Welsh manor to turn in to a chain of American hotels. The relationship has the potential to develop.Three great short stories that leave you wanting to know more about the characters described in each story.
