Book review: SaltWater

THE sea is the linking motif of this exciting collection of stories, which will please those who like a salty tang to their reading.

The author has a real passion for the sea in all its moods, from calm starry night to raging storm, and understands those who cannot live without it.

Lane Ashfeldt’s grandparents are from west Cork, she grew up in Dublin, and now lives in Wales. This is her first collection, but she is no beginner: she has already won several prizes and been published in the London Magazine and various anthologies. They are highly imaginative, fast-moving stories, with satisfying endings. Lane Ashfeldt is definitely a name to watch.
