Alison Stuart’s Tower of Tales is a wonderfully eclectic collection of short stories written over various times in her life in different countries. The characters are very real and believable. The descriptions of the cities have you believing you’re there with her characters, living the experience. In HOME LEAVE (Random thoughts from the banished*) I felt like I was there in Singapore with the “smells of garlic, coriander and curry mingled in the thick, warm air.” Then, I was transported to “Melbourne, in winter, [with] smells of wood smoke, car fumes, and of heated metal as the tram wheels grate to a halt, spewing sparks and sand from the brakes.” Ms Stuart is a natural storyteller and her words flow beautifully from one story to the next. Each story so unique, yet completely captivating. A great read!
