From prize - winning short - story writer Cate Kennedy comes a new collection to rival her highly acclaimed Dark Roots. In Like a House on Fire, Kennedy once again takes ordinary lives and dissects their ironies, injustices and pleasures with her humane eye and wry sense of humour. In Laminex and Mirrors, a young woman working as a cleaner in a hospital helps an elderly patient defy doctor's orders. In Cross - Country, a jilted lover manages to misinterpret her ex's new life.

I'm not nomally a fan of short stories, but when I heard the author being interviewed on Conversations, she was so pleasantly entertaining that I decided to try something different. I took a break after each story (which doesn't always suit) and it made each story more memorable.
The lives in each story were mostly hard lives. There was very little to laugh about but somehow the moral of "things could be worse" shone through.
The stories were memorable and I will definitely read more by this author
