Free ebook '300 Degree Days and other stories'
Originally published by award-winning Ginninderra Press, '300 Degree Days and other stories' is now available as an ebook, available free to download from my website: http://deborahsheldon.wordpress.com
Sometimes, the ties that bind are sharp enough to cut. In these eleven stories, set in contemporary Australian suburbia, Deborah Sheldon examines the darker side of family relationships. Unsettling and incisively written, each story of betrayal, envy, loss or bad blood resonates for a long time after reading.
'Sheldon's stories lift the skin of small, suburban lives to expose the raw nerves beneath. Her writing is intimate, compelling and alarming...' - The Short Review, UK
'I enjoyed 300 Degree Days for its authentic portrayal of how people behave and respond to challenges in their relationships. It’s not always pretty, but it’s real, and that made it a winner for me.' - Whispering Gums
