A Masterclass in Emotion and Versatility - One Author, Countless Voices.
Death of a Dream is a powerful and moving compilation of short stories, memoir, and poetry by acclaimed British author Chris Lewando. From laugh-out-loud moments to deeply poignant reflections on love, loss, and the human spirit, this multi-genre miscellany showcases Lewando's extraordinary talent for capturing character, voice, and emotional truth. Whether you're drawn to compelling fiction, raw memoir, or lyrical verse, this collection will stay with you long after the last page.
Perfect for fans of emotionally rich, character-driven writing with literary depth and a personal touch. The short story, Death of a Dream, about grief, murder and revenge, is a story I will not forget any time soon. It was well written and the anguish of Gerry was palpable. I could feel his anger and despair. I will read more by Chris Lewando. 'Editing Chris Lewando's Miscellany has been a rare treat. Her range of character and colour is extraordinary, and I've alternately chuckled or wept accordingly. She has perfect pitch regarding dialogue, which makes a crucial difference. I feel privileged to have worked with her.'
Jeremy Butterfield, editor 'Heart-breaking and amusing in turn. I'm not usually good with short stories or poems, but this well-written collection was varied enough to hold my interest. There were several short stories, one of which almost had me in tears, as did the memoir, specifically covering the death of the author's sister. I was surprised by the author's ability to write in such a wide range of genres. I received a free copy in return for an honest review.'
