Distorted Days by Louise Worthington Literary fiction

“If she could speak to them, she would say they have exploded her heart, released

firecrackers through her senses. She wishes she could call the police, the

ambulance, the fire brigade, to arrest and anaesthetise and waterboard the bastards.”

Doris now lives by herself after her husband had an affair and left her to it. The house is his

and the estate agent has just called to put it on the market leaving Doris in rather a pickle to

say the very least. Doris steadily sips to get through the difficult times in life and sometimes

just life in general . She and her friends take us through a whirlwind of distorted days.

This is very differently written. Rather staccato in parts which does give it that whirlwind

distorted feeling that the world is somehow getting away from you and then doing

one’s best to snatch it back. Tales of life getting people down and then picking

themselves back up again, something we have all been through in different degrees.

Attitude being one of the big factors in how quickly we react, different characters

having different attitudes. I liked “the jenga style coffee tables made from books” 

and Colleen and the dog in the library. Of life’s ups and downs and curveballs.

A different look on life with a smile,.

through her senses. She wishes she could call the police, the ambulance, the fire brigade,
