Reviews:
“Lois Cloarec Hart has written an outstanding collection of ten short stories which decidedly display the author’s rich and vivid character development, inventive plotting, and original thematic material. These selections vary in length, and each one is a radiant gem to be appreciated. All deal with love and relationships and the inevitable conflicts that occur. At times poignant, bittersweet, and whimsical, Hart’s collection is an absorbing, fascinating, and intriguing exploration of the human condition....”
~ Arlene F. Germain, Reviewer for Midwest Book Review and The Independent Gay WriterSynopsis:
Whether you’re thirteen or thirty, or past the age when a lady likes to tell, it’s an enduring pleasure to enter an ice cream shop and contemplate what to select from the variety of flavours. Some may stick to their tried and true preference; some may pick and choose among established favourites; and some may dare to taste a strange new offering. (Licorice pistachio, anyone?)Whatever a patron’s choice, odds are they’ll leave the shop with a smile on their face and a satisfied palate. Assorted Flavours offers up a similarly diverse bill of fare, with stories that range from the whimsical “Flea” and the poignant “Grandmother’s Cup”, to the suspenseful “Nine Minutes” and bittersweet “Lost and Found”. Love is the silken thread woven through all these stories, as one woman picks up the pieces of a shattered heart, another gets her comeuppance after an ill-advised wager, and yet another risks all in an uncertain future where a nation’s only hope resides in the courage and tenacity of a few.
What would you do if you suddenly had an immense and inexplicable power to change the world? Or if you encountered a friendly vampire with a distinct family resemblance and a penchant for matchmaking? Enter the world of Assorted Flavours, and encounter a rich assortment of characters thrown into circumstances where love is often the only lifeline. Make your selection, and savour your choice. Whatever your flavour, satisfaction is assured.
