S. B. Borgersen

Collected Novellas (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

From story-telling author and poet, S.B. Borgersen, come three novellas in one volume. Three stories. With diverse characters, strong and unique even in their flaws. With settings that'll make you want to visit Dorset England in Victorian times, or Cyprus under threat in the seventies, or a small coastal community today in Nova Scotia.

But that is where the differences end. These stories embrace the human spirit in all its forms, the fight for equality, fall-outs from unwanted pregnancies, overcoming hurdles, the need to belong, and understanding that everyone has a secret. Stories that discover love, bonds of friendship, strength of community, and standing up for what is right.

Fishermen's Fingers, Eva Matson, and Passport to Perdita will take you on those journeys.

Passport to Perdita

A Review by Adam Gibbs, Author ofDumb LuckandExistentialism at the Wheel

"We never quite know what lies on the other side of life." When Gordon Drummond stumbles upon an old suitcase after his father's funeral, he transforms into a kind of archaeologist, unearthing the remnants of his own pre-history. With growing suspicion that his father led a double life, Gordona steadfast homebodyembarks on a transformative journey.

Brimming with wit, sharp dialogue, and vivid storytelling, Passport to Perdita propels us from the foggy greys of Nova Scotia to the lush greens of Chile's coastline. What begins in grief unfolds into a tale of wonder, perfectly paced to keep readers hooked. Borgersen delivers a heartfelt exploration of loss and discovery in a journey well worth taking.

Eva Matson

Eva Matson was born in 1900 in rural Dorset, Englanda Victorian world of gas lamps, outdated plumbing, and an era where women's voices often went unheard unless accompanied by bold actions.

Eva's life unfolds against the backdrop of two world wars, societal upheavals, and radical shifts in gender roles. She was an unconventional woman who drove an ambulance at 15 and forged a life marked by questions, risks, and unexpected answers. London became her proving ground, a city of love, heartbreak, and defining choicessome she might regret, others she would treasure forever.

This is a tale of resilience: a journey through life's bumps and blessings, the foibles of family, enduring friendships, and the profound strength found in love.

Fishermen's Fingers

A Review by Vanessa Couchman, Author of The Tales of CorsicaSeries

"Borgersen masterfully tackles delicate subject matter in this gripping novella. The claustrophobic world of a fictional Nova Scotian fishing community is depicted with an artist's precision, immersing readers in its harsh realities.

The protagonist, Lenny, is flawed and often unlikeable, but his struggles evoke empathy as he navigates a life shaped by unrelenting hardships. The twistunexpected and powerfulleft me utterly floored. Borgersen's storytelling is nothing short of exceptional."
