Prose: A short story collection

Prose: A short story collection

Linda Brooks

There's a randomness and whimsy to this collection, and anyone familiar with Linda, will expect exactly that. It is also represented in the cover art--a zentangle, aptly name 'Goldfish in the Garden'.

Prose begins at a nurses' reunion where the usual entertainments slip away as Pathfinder Robyn astounds the normally unflappable Marilyn and everyone else with a tale as disjointed as ever was told. A difficult childhood, a fascinating life, related with warmth and received with hilarity. Monica is voted Google-On-Legs for her encyclopaedic knowledge of life's goings on.

A boy learns the beauty of the legacy of his great-uncles. A patient Indian Postmaster goes to great lengths to explain the parcel post system to an insistent customer. Jenny grieves a son on Mother's Day. Brooks shares memories of a muddy creek, a barbed wire fence and the angst and joys of growing up.

Linda steps into a Jane Austen world and is maid at an elegant mansion in leafy upper-crust Sydney's North Shore and learns the rules for the help haven't changed much. In spite of his best intentions, an angry man becomes like his brutal father. A top-lofty son is embarrassed by his gentle mother's dementia and receives a lesson in grace. A vigilante tenant prunes a hedge and the neighbourhood is not amused.

Brooks shares her award winning stories: 'The loud clock' , 'That Madness' , 'Anyone but him, God' , 'Ancient Grief' , 'A far place' , 'Dad's apprentice' , and 'The wall is blue .
