On Traigh Lar Beach

Picture
​An assortment of thirteen objects washed ashore on Traigh Lar Beach inspired this collection of short stories and a novella as the author explores the stories of the people behind the objects and how the objects found their way to the water.  Every story had very well developed characters and I felt immediately transported to each of the different settings.  In many instances, the objects were not the main focus of the story, rather the character's interactions with the object.  The stories were tied together by the emotional impact, the objects held memories of grief, sadness or melancholy and releasing those feelings. The last object, a concert badge, led to a novella called The Fan Girls.  I was absorbed into this story that centered around four women's varying degrees of obsession with the lead singer of a Scottish band, Datha.  The four women all came from different backgrounds and led very different lives, but were all able to bond and come together surrounding Datha's music.  However, obsession has many forms and some can be dangerous. Overall, On Traigh Lar Beach is a thoughtful, moving and genuine short story collection.  

This book was received for free in return for an honest review.
