This anthology is
produced by the writing group that call themselves the Oldham Writing Café. They
meet twice a month in Oldham. See their Facebook
page here .
As a publisher who
produces anthologies I know how difficult it can be putting together a cohesive
book where every piece pleases the reader. This can be even more difficult when
it is a collection by diverse connected writers rather than something where all
pieces revolve around a central theme.
However, this one succeeds
in keeping the reader engaged throughout. Whilst I liked some pieces more than others
there was nothing I disliked and I enjoyed reading some fine writing.
The stories and
poems are grouped in to Starters, Main Courses and Deserts. The final section
of the book is called Speciality Coffees and gives information about the
writers and the group. This section also includes acknowledgements.
Worth a look.
