Supporting Cast | Kit de Waal
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
As she walks out of her marriage, a woman remembers a day by the sea when her husband rescued a boy from drowning. A blind man on his wedding day celebrates the pursuit of love. A woman finds companionship for the first time with the girls at work. And a young man leaves prison with only one desire - to see his son again. Kit de Waal's characters light up the page in vivid stories of thwarted desire, love and loss. With power and precision, humanity and insight, Supporting Cast captures the extraordinary moments in our ordinary lives, and the darkness and the joy of the everyday.

Mehso-so

This is a collection of short stories featuring many characters which have appeared in Kit De Waal's full length novels.

I didn't realise this until now so while I enjoyed some of these short stories, I think I should have read at least one full lenght novel prior.

So now I shall read My Name is Leon to give some of these short stories context.

Three stars. As with all collections, some I enjoyed more than others.
