Irish Fiction Month Review: Mary O'Sullivan - Full Circle and Other Stories

I've always liked the word 'eclectic' but never found reason to use it - until now. Full Circle comprises a collection of stories that can best be described as eclectic. While the common theme revolves around relationships, the characters range from a comatose patient in story one right through to an eerie scarecrow in the last story . In between you'll find tales of people dealing with the challenges life holds for all of us.

This collection of short stories, Full Circle and Other Stories, from Mary O'Sullivan has been on my Kindle since last summer but my Irish Fiction month has finally given me the perfect excuse to make the time to read them.  And with it is being a selection of short stories it meant that I could read a story or two whenever I had five minutes to spare.

The stories cover an interesting mix of topics exploring family relationships, a comatose patient, serial killers although death seemed to feature quite highly in most of them!
