Breakfast at Dawn

Breakfast at Dawn 
We do not live in a vacuum. Our lives are constantly affected, controlled or motivated by contact with those around us. The friction created by the inevitable rubbing of life on life produces a myriad jealousies, hatreds, triumphs and despairs. It is these which Roma Sanders explores in this collection of exquisitely wrought stories. Sometimes amusing, sometimes heart-breaking, often poignant, always thought provoking, these lyrically imaginative tales are populated by the sort of people to whom we can all relate, their emotions and the actions they provoke heightened just a little, as if reflected in a mildly distorting glass. Can a child’s ‘unhealthy imagination’ create an instrument of retribution to quell an overbearing and intolerant aunt? What has brought about the untimely demise of the aptly named Peaceman? How do you deal with the implacable and unreasoning hatred of a neighbour? What is the febrile Mrs Le Brun’s shameful secret? These questions, and many others, Roma Sanders poses and answers with a cool detachment which renders the results of her observation keenly moving. Her style is direct and unforced; not a word is wasted. Breakfast at Dawn offers the discerning reader a rare and elegant pleasure.
