As a writer it’s always wonderful to know that readers are connecting with your work. Here Kate Durban offers a brilliant review of my recently published debut collection In Their Absence.

Huge thanks to Kate for this review. And to Everybody’s Reviewing for publishing it and supporting my work.

I've included an extract below. Head to Everybody’s Reviewing for the full article!

“Hannah’s seemingly effortless prose brings her stories alive with devastating details that are both deeply authentic and agonisingly poignant. One couple, who are moving out of their house following the disappearance of their child, leave behind an empty swing in the back garden. The worn spots beneath it are being covered over by grass, now growing unimpeded by the feet of the missing child. There is the man who throws himself under a train, witnessed by the woman who innocently follows him to the platform. She likes his Fedora and picks up his still-warm coffee cup from the platform on which he stood just moments before. The imagery is sparse but beautiful.”
