Download or read book Small Holes in the Silence written by Patricia Grace and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2010 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a fine new collection of short stories by the much-loved Patricia Grace, probably never more popular since the great commercial success of the novel Tu. The feast of stories is varied: urban, rural, New Zealand, overseas, tribal, contemporary. The thread that runs through all the stories, though, is Grace's huge sympathy for the underdog and the perspective of the outsider. The world she depicts is often a stark and unsentimental place, in which people struggle against ageing, rejection, violence and betrayal.
