Thank to Hélene Fermont and Sarah Hardy @BOTBSPublicity for a copy of this book in return for an honest review.
Synopsis
My Thoughts
Who’s Sorry Now is a collection of 4 short stories covering a wide range of genres, including; love, betrayal, and murder! I’m not really going to go into any detail about each story as it would give away surprises.
I always feel that writing a short story takes a huge amount of skill. To write something short with a beginning, middle and end and to have enough ‘meat on the bones’ to keep the reader interested is a difficult task. Hélen Fermont does this really well in this collection. Each story takes between 5 and 10 minutes to read but are so complete that you feel as though you’ve read a novel. Perfect for short commutes or picking up if you only have a few minutes.
Written in a contemporary style, each individual story is a delight to read and very cleverly constructed. I love the fact that despite the length, some stories still had a great twist or two in them which made for exciting reading and lots of lingering thoughts afterwards.
I am yet to read a full novel by this author but I am now planning on it very soon.
Author Bio – Hélen Fermont
Born into a bilingual family (Swedish/ English) Hélene Fermont enjoyed an idylic childhood on the outskirts of Malmö, Sweden’s third largest city and major cultural hub. Growing up in the 1970s she had a brief musical career on Swedish TV and radio. Hélene lived in London for over 20 years but has recently returned to Sweden. Hélene is a former teacher, a practising psychologist, and currently the author of three novels, all of which are psychological suspense with a nordic noir flavour. Her fourth novel is coming soon!
You are right, writing short pieces take a certain type of skill.
