A Sense Of Smell and other stories (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The power of the sense of smell as a trigger for memory is explored in the title story. An unexpected relationship on a Connecticut beach develops between two women who have lost their husbands in another story. A further story explores a disturbed adolescent boy's path to resolution.

These are some of the themes in the eight short stories in this little book by novice writer Richard Newell, a retired physician with 'an incredible gift for writing and story-telling'.

"Beautifully written I hope a novel will be next."
Sylvia Whu.
"Loved the raunchy bit! Not cheesy at all."
Erica Ling
"Sensitive characterisation."
Bartholomew B.

"These interesting and intriguing short stories show an incredible gift for writing and story-telling; the author is clearly proficient in the art and technique of both with a rich imagination and life experience. I got quite caught up in these stories and wanted for more."

Autorenporträt

I was born in England shortly after the bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and educated at Oxford and London Universities. After nearly thirty years practising medicine in hospital and general practice, mostly in South Africa, I went to sea as a cruise ship's doctor until I had to dry my feet and hang up my stethoscope aged sixty-seven. Those last several years were the most interesting and enjoyable of my whole life: I saw the whole world, my wife travelled with me most of the time, and the children also managed several trips with us, all for a dollar a day.
After my retirement, the decision to try my hand at writing was easy: much of my early life was spent writing essays mainly literary criticism on German and French works through the centuries (that was the Oxford stint); I had done a fair amount of lecturing; and I had written a series of articles on travel health for a specialist travel magazine. Besides, it makes a nice change from just washing the dishes and mowing the lawn!
My interests are reading (books, magazines, the back of cereal packets, anything!), classical music, travel, bridge, food and wine in any order, and even at the same time. Once upon a time I played the violin (I even had a string quartet going while at university, just for fun), had a private pilot's licence, shot small-bore rifle for Oxford and rowed for my college.
I believe in the importance of good manners and respect for others.
