Patches

A little book of very short stories.

By: Nicola Kearns

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

In the author’s words, ‘Patches’ is “a very small book, of very short stories”. It is a collection of the writer’s earlier published and unpublished work. These are stories of love and betrayal, of life and death, but there is joy and laughter too. We are given fleeting glimpses of lives that fascinate and intrigue us; many of them with a mystery that draws us in but that often leaves us guessing. Like life itself, we seldom ever know the full story. Every picture literally tells a tale, as many of the essays are beautifully illustrated by modest works of art sketched by the author’s father, artist Nicholas Kearns.
