I have just spent an enjoyable afternoon, reading and thinking about Maria Savva's latest collection of short stories."3" contains three excellent stories: "Never to be Told", "The Bride" and "What the Girl Heard". The first story describes the first date between Amber and Tom, who have far more in common than either of them can imagine at the start of the date."The Bride" has a real paranormal aspect to it, which is something I really like about so much of this talented author's work. Olivia is delighted that Rod has asked her to marry him, but he has secrets which disturb and alarm the bride to be.The final story in the collection opens with a baby sitting evening that ends disastrously for all involved. It is only many years later that babysitter, Victoria, learns the full impact that her bedtime story had on her young charge, Minnie Baker.Maria Savva's short stories are a joy to read. They are beautifully written and constructed, drawing you into the story within a few sentences. More please, Maria!
