A review by charlottejones952
Supporting Cast by Kit de Waal
3.0
I pre-ordered this book as soon as I heard it was coming out in order to support the author. I'd never read anything of hers before but had only heard good things so wanted to give this short story collection a go.
Unfortunately, despite enjoying many of the stories, most of them were linked to Kit's other books, particularly 'My Name is Leon' which I haven't yet read. Each story is a character study and many link together, giving the collection a great continuity throughout. At just 200 pages and containing 22 stories, each one is very short and I was amazed at how much heart the author managed to pack into each one.
Overall I liked this collection but I don't think it will be very memorable to me. However, if you've read Kit de Waal's author works, this may resonate more with you as you will already know some of the characters.
3 out of 5 stars!
