Jane Stevenson arrived on the British literary scene with a book
called Several Deceptions. A collection of four novellas, it was
unashamedly erudite, marvellously witty and just a little bit
cruel. It revived a neglected form quite brilliantly. Now, after
four acclaimed novels, she returns with another sparkling novella
collection. In 'Light My Fire' a passionate relationship cannot
withstand a clash of tastes and an ancient Aga; a housewife's life
is transformed when she starts to see angels in 'Walking with
Angels'; and 'Garden Guerillas' follows a widow plotting an
elaborate horticultural revenge on her daughter-in-law. Despite
being framed by domesticity, these stories are wickedly potent and
each has a string in its tale.
