There is plenty to dwell on here, in this turquoise anthology - a deep dive toward treasure from a fresh literary voice, a dot-to-dot of intimate, sometimes filmic moments. In her debut collection, Sam Keston paints vivid, imaginary characters while never shying from the impact of loss. She dwells on the sting of childhood in "Crouching from Wizards" and the transparent longing "From a Glass Bottom Boat".Her pocket-sized stories invite us to fall with her into a postbox, shedding old ideas at the charity shop, and carrying hope for the future without ignoring the battlegrounds of the "lives we used to know". Keston's work is a treasure trove of moments, we recognise, memories of a broken world, and poignant reflections on the grief of losing loved ones.A collection that leaves us with the tantalising promise that something new is also out there, as "one door closes".
