Stained Glass Lives

In Stained Glass Lives, Louise Worthington''s writing fuses poetry and prose, beauty and violence. Sometimes, tender, sometimes harsh, she explores loss, female power and the power of distorted thought, as well as creating stark portraits of family, violence and revenge. The characters are flawed and visceral, from ghosts, daughters, mothers, wives, to taxi drivers, teachers, a frail widow and a mercenary shop assistant.
