How to Make a Window Snake by Charmaine Wilkerson, Joanna Campbell, Ingrid Jendrzejewski

This collection of three novellas in flash is a fantastic showcase of the craft. Each tiny novella can be read in one sitting, but will stay with readers for much longer. The title novella was my favourite, Wilkerson weaving in loss and intense emotion, but gently, by stealth, with compassion and warmth. A Safer Way to Fall was like a gut punch with tragedy after tragedy, but woven together in history and with such beautiful turns of phrase. Jendrzejweski’s offering was gentler. real, and very relateable and ending, I thought, on a note of hope.
