BOOK REVIEW - Love, Loss and Life In Between: Short Story Anthology by Suzanne Rogerson

- March 17, 2023

Love, Loss and Life In Between

This collection of short stories gives a glimpse into life, love, loss, and the inexplicable in between. Includes themes of grief, finding hope, second chances, facing the consequences of your actions, and getting help from the unlikeliest of places.

As Cecilia helps the dying, she questions what happens to their spirits. But is she ready to find out?
Can a mother's race through the New Forest save her son?
Will visiting a medium bring Christina the closure she needs?
Can an intruder help an old lady with her loneliness?
Will the start of another wet and miserable Monday morning end with Maeve’s happy ever after.

This anthology includes the prize-winning flash fiction story Spirit Song.

I received an advance review audiobook for free and am leaving this review voluntarily. Thank you Suzanne Rogerson and Rachel's Random Resources. I'm excited to be a part of this tour.

Love, Loss, and Life in Between is a book comprised of 10 short stories. I enjoy reading short stories because they are perfect for reading on the go. I always have a book with me and it’s great to knock out a couple of stories while I am waiting an appointment or on my breaks. The stories in the book are from a variety of genres, which I loved. The diversity was eclectic and kept me engaged from start to finish.

All the stories focus on different aspects of life and heavy topics. I appreciate that the difficult topics are presented with humility and respect. Like other reviewers, I also resonate most with “Goodbye Forever” and “Garden Therapy”. I recommend this book to anyone who has experienced any of the topics and is looking to better understand their impact.

I look forward to reading more from this author!

Author Bio –

Suzanne lives in Middlesex, England with her husband, two teenagers, a crazy cocker spaniel and an adopted cat that thinks she’s the boss. Suzanne’s writing journey began at the age of twelve when she completed her first novel. Giving up work to raise a family gave her the impetus to take her attempts at novel writing beyond the first draft, and she is lucky enough to have a husband who supports her dream - even if he does occasionally hint that she might think about getting a proper job one day.

Now an author of four novels including the Silent Sea Chronicles trilogy and her debut, Visions of Zarua, plus three short story collections, Suzanne hopes the dreaded ‘W’ word will never rear its ugly head again!

Suzanne collects books, is interested in history and enjoys wandering around castles and old ruins whilst being immersed in the past. She likes to combine her love of nature and photography on family walks, but most of all she loves to escape with a great film, binge watch TV shows, or soak in a hot bubble bath with an ice cream and a book.
