Freckles of Light

Susan's Review

Freckles of Light is a stunning collection of flash fiction from award-winning West Australian writer Alison Davis. These ‘flashy’ stories will attract your attention, but there’s nothing shallow about a single one. They offer striking stories about love and loss; the promise of youth and the disappointments of ageing; the pleasure of revenge and the pain of regret. There’s pathos, quirky humour, and the gift of making the so-called ordinary experiences — like that dreary office Christmas party or a trip to Ikea — seem extraordinary.
