description: In Stained Glass Lives Louise Worthingtons writing fuses poetry and prose beauty and violence. Sometimes tender sometimes harsh she explores loss female power and the power of distorted thought as well as creating stark portraits of family violence and revenge. The characters are flawed and visceral from ghosts daughters mothers wives to taxi drivers teachers a frail widow and a mercenary shop assistant.Combining astute observation with vivid imagination Stained Glass Lives shows us stories unfolding in a multitude of colours. From coping with the mortality of beloved parents to dealing with troubled children to domestic abuse to the surreal dreams and stifled hopes we all experience Louise Worthington weaves wonderful images and engages all of the readers senses.Debbi Voisey writing tutor and mentor and author of the forthcoming novella-in-flash The 10:25 due to be published in 2021 by Flash: The International Short-Short Story Press.
