October Bookclub Meeting: Come Let Us Sing Anyway by Leone Ross

In Leone Ross's luminous collection of short stories ranging from richly extended stories to intense pieces of flash fiction, set between Jamaica and Britain, anything can happen.

Ross's settings may be familiar and her characters recognisable, but these stories take a magical/fantastical turn that dramatically transforms the way we see: a wife returns from the dead and their marital bickering resumes, a headless girl barely lifts an eyebrow among her school companions, a security guard collects discarded hymens and uncovers a deeper empathy for women.
