Simply magical and a joy to read! Each story is a gem of language and character, a stone to upturn and peer beneath.

Whether consciously or unconsciously, at some point readers always ask themselves, Do I care about these characters? Do I care what happens to them? Do I sympathize with them? In “Witches Sail in Eggshells”—in story after story—I do. And Chloe Turner’s prose, in its descriptive detail, reads like poetry.

A wonderful collection with a beguiling title. Be careful what you do with your eggshells after you finish your egg. An atmospheric cover by the artist Laura Pashby entices the reader into a labyrinth of tales by a master story teller. They are reminiscent of Chekhov in their economy and off-beat wisdom. A thoroughly enjoyable read.

I loved every story in this collection, each one becoming my favourite as I read. The characters are memorable and intriguing, the themes varied along with the changing settings. No story is like another. Chloe Turner’s prose is sublime and it felt as if every word was a carefully chosen thread stitching the narratives together to create a final tapestry of delicate beauty.
I particularly enjoyed Hagstone, Waiting for the runners, The Human Bird and Witches sail in eggshells, but found each story a different reading experience.
This is a bewitching collection of stories from a very talented writer.
