The House with Two Letter-Boxes

By: Janet H. Swinney

Narrated by: Hannah Wood

Set in the Northeast of England, these are dark, dangerous, and witty tales of a close-knit community. Here, neighbours have sharp tongues, suspicious minds, and hidden talents. This a place where money doesn't grow on trees and where women and girls endure a damn sight more than anyone should have to. But kindness can still come from unexpected quarters...

Critic reviews

"No matter their gender, the voices of Swinney's characters are captured with a fine ear, alert to the comic, whether intentional or not, of Viz at its richest and best. If her dialogue has the feel of conversations eavesdropped, then her prose has the knack of crocheting complexity with apparent simplicity, line by line, until the reader is able to see the fully worked intricacy of the pattern. It's a collection whose many seams are as abundant with gold as they are of coal." (Northern Soul, Desmond Bullen Reviews)
