Feet to the Stars

This book was short listed for the Western Australia Premier Book Award in the Western Australia Fiction category in Oct. 2016. Feet to the Stars is Susan Midalia's third collection of short stories, offering keenly observed details about everyday life expressed with pathos, tenderness, and bracing wit. Subtly rendered and emotionally engaging, these stories speak of the transformative capacities of the heart and mind, and of the ways we affect each other, sometimes unwittingly and often profoundly. They offer us the pleasure of listening to different voices, and the satisfaction of reading carefully crafted and evocative prose. *** Midalia's skill at presenting big ideas through everyday experience demonstrates how powerful good writing can be. -- The West Australian *** Librarians: ebook available on ProQuest and EBSCO Subject: Short Story Fiction]
