You have all that evidence
Posted on Thu, 01 Feb 2024
You have all that evidence and yet you know that if you go to the police, they'll do nothing. Stressful for the main character, taking on all this responsibility.

There is lots of magic in these lines, it's sort of sad too. I can't bear a dead bird. Those pies are a community, a dynasty. I see them in a different light now with fairies in their hearts. How beautiful.

This is easy to read, classy
Posted on Wed, 17 Jan 2024
This is easy to read, classy and sort of meditative. It's a perfect short story. Takes me back to very middle-class homes I visited as a child where people were cultured and ate food I'd never heard of and had original artwork on the walls. It...

I really like this, Rhiannon. It's easy to forget that farmers are up and out in all weathers, at all times helping nature along. Your words are soft and powerful here, much like the lamplight.
