Set in Ulster, south Wales and Italy, many of the stories in 'A
City Burning' concern a point of choice and decision. Characters
reach a turning point at which their lives can become fuller and
more meaningful, but at a cost to themselves. In others they bear
witness to an event must decide whether to become involved or pass
by. They could be ordinary people in Belfast during the Troubles or
their aftermath, or during the Covid-19 pandemic, or priests facing
a new religious reality in their ministries, or family members in a
domestic situation in south Wales. Characters are forced to look
into themselves; each must make a choice of how to live their
future lives. These stories are vividly written and authentically
realised, with Graham's eye for a telling detail and instinct for a
loaded silence drawing in the reader. She has created memorable
characters and situations which linger in the mind long after the
story has ended.
