Christine nous a malheureusement quittés.
What was it like to be homosexual in the 1950s? How is this related to a young woman’s accident in the present day? Can you emerge unscathed from dealings with organised crime? These threads are woven together in Sudden Stop, which also carries on the story of some of the characters in Christine’s earlier book, Triangle. The second story, Connie Cormery, is also set in the 1950s, this time from the perspective of a young girl growing up in South London. Mr. Bellingham, the final story, also has South London as its background, and explores what happens to an ordinary man when he is made redundant. In all three stories the characters and the effects of circumstances outside their control on their lives are examined. Christine Collette gives us crime, mystery and romance, hetero- and homosexual, in a rich concoction that entertains and intrigues the reader, a page-turner with a difference.
