description: The short fiction in The Chemists House is very evocative and very colourful.A collection that pokes softly at the spaces between people: sister brother father mother neighbour friend. Higgins stories reveal moments where small truths and lies dwell. Understated and quiet these small fictions paint lives gently but oh so colourfully. Michelle ElvyIn interconnected finely wrought flash fiction stories Jude Higgins creates a coming-of-age tapestry  of family love and conflict; and of a girls passage into womanhood. Higgins' flash pieces blend into one masterly and moving whole: poignant loving and profound in emotional impact. Meg Pokrass
