Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Elle Turner writes contemporary women’s fiction. Her troubled heroines are emotional, unsettled and a little bit crumpled, but they’re intelligent and strong too – most of the time. They are, of course, just as keen to love and be loved as the rest of us. Elle reckons we can keep that under wraps, though, as it’s not a subject that generally comes up. Not in books, films, music, life…

What was that you said?

Oh…

…Anyway,

Elle lives in beautiful Scotland with her husband and two sons. She has pretty much no sense of direction, if you offer her a 50:50 she will ALWAYS get it wrong and, despite living in Scotland, she rarely manages to wear shoes that don’t leak.

If you would like to find out more about Elle or her writing, she’d love to see you at www.elleturnerwriter.com

    What a brilliant collection of short stories! Each one really made me think and question 'how I'd react' or be in that particular situation. The author cleverly delves beneath the emotional layers to explore some very thought-provoking subjects. Really well written. I loved it and look forward to reading more stories from this author.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A very satisfying read, perfect for a journey

    I’m a sucker for short stories. I’m always using the phrase ‘dip in, dip out’ in relation to how you can read them but actually I generally read a book of short stories in one go. It’s the same with books with short chapters, I think to myself ‘just one more, just one more,’ and before I know it I’m nearing the end and am somewhere between tired and irritable and excited to see how the story will end. ‘Tapestry’ was no different. The title of the book first grabbed me and this was quickly followed by the cover. I thought about what a tapestry was, and this book definitely lived up to the title, with stories that are interwoven, themes and characters popping up all over the place with frayed edges, strands almost at breaking point and loose ends that are clearly visible.

    The subject matter varied, but they are mostly love stories with a darker tinge to them, some so dark they border on claustophobic, not always a bad thing, it just meant that they reeled me in. I did find that there was possibly one too many in a row on unrequited love and obsession but then the subject matter changed again and all was good with the world. The crossover in particular was artfully done, as you guessed which character would appear again, and, coupled with the presence of twists timed very, very, well, alongside an absence of a twist where there was none required, I was very happy out!

    I read it quite quickly (Amazon say it’s only 74 pages), with my eyes rarely moving from my Kindle. It’s always commendable when your eyes remain glued to the screen and your fingers continue to scroll, as if you’re in a trance, and that’s what happened here. There are twelve stories in this book, and I didn’t flick ahead once, nor did my eyes stray from the page. That being said there were possibly one or two I didn’t enjoy as much as the others, but that was evened out by the presence of a few that were outstanding (as well as a few very ingenious ones!).

    Very much recommended, in particular for a journey, I think it would pass the time very nicely indeed, just hope that nobody creeps up on you!

    Rating 4.5/5

    4.0 out of 5 stars A great selection of short stories
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 29, 2016

    What a great selection of short stories. Each character has a strong voice that speaks directly to the reader, involving us in their individual tale. The good writing, and the light touches of detail and humour make a winning combination. On occasion characters from one story appear in another, which works well.

    I was immediately drawn in to the relationship between Imogen and Neil in the first story, entitled “Never-ending”. Imogen’s predicament is both singular and universal. There’s a wonderful moment when Imogen is talking about Neil’s proposal. She says, “No one noticed that I didn’t say, ‘Yes.’ Not even me.” Such a deceptively simple way to reveal so much about a character.

    The narrative voices in “Lost” and “Living without” are particularly compelling. In the former, it feels like Chrissie in the same room as you, confiding in you. In the latter, Claudia is desperately trying to remain up-beat, but her loneliness is painfully apparent in every word she utters.

    While the misdirection in “Meeting Eric” is ever so clever, my favourite story is “I Hope You Get Your Rabbit”. It is simply brilliant. It made me cry.

    I’m really looking forward to reading more from this author.

    I had the good fortune to meet Elle at a writers lunch and bought this collection soon after. Once I started reading I couldn't put my Kindle down! Elle's sucker-punch last lines and beautiful turns of phrase draw you into a world of lost and found love. Strong characters and evocative settings throughout - I can't recommend this book highly enough.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful short story collection, I highly recommend it!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 20, 2016

    I’ve had Tapestry on my Kindle for a while and have been very much looking forward to reading it.

    This collection of short stories is excellent. I’m not someone who reads a lot of short stories, as I’ve always preferred a longer read but I’m starting to really enjoy and appreciate collections like this one that are a bit more interlinked.

    I enjoyed all the stories in the collection but if I had to pick a favourite it would be the first story, Never-Ending. It just really got to me and it’s stayed in my head after I’ve finished reading.

    The thing I loved most about this collection was the way each story ended. They all end with a sentence or two that really sums up the story and gives you something to think about. Elle Turner really makes you think about what words mean and what other words that are similar could have been used but the one she picked is subtly implying something else. The idea that something isn’t ‘forever, it’s just never-ending’ really got to me. The subtly of the words and the massive difference between wanting to be somewhere and feeling trapped and suffocated there. It made the stories quite poetic and added that something extra to them.

    The title of the collection really gives a sense of cohesion – these stories are individual but they interweave. Some of the stories are happy, some are sad and some are somewhere in between but they all come together. Some characters re-appear in other stories, others only appear in the the one story but there is a sense of how life would go on for each person.

    I very much enjoyed this collection and highly recommend it, even if, like me, you think short stories aren’t really for you, give this book a go because it might surprise you. I rated this book 4.5 out of 5.
