Hieroglyphics and Other Stories
by Anne Donovan

Description
A beautiful collection - charming, witty and touching - these stories give voice to a variety of different characters: from the little girl who wants to look 'subtle' for her father's funeral, a child who has an email pen pal on Jupiter and an old lady who becomes a star through 'zimmerobics'.Often writing in a vibrant Glaswegian vernacular, Donovan deftly gives her characters authenticity with a searing power, aided and abetted by tender subtlety.Tags

Wonderful stories, these. I often remember this collection with fondness. I should really reread this one, or better yet: read more by Donovan!
Excellet short stories; good characterisation and plot.
