A Haunting Refrain

Alison Prince

The title neatly shows the link not just of the supernatural, but of music too in these seven short stories. The settings and characterisation are various, but there's a running thread of music in the delicate shifting between real and unreal, past and present, life and death. Carefully crafted writing will take many readers beyond the conventions they're used to. Worth buying as small sets for 3rd- and 4th-years with single copies for class, school and department libraries.
