A collection of short stories. Rather patchy, but the best stories are very good. I never read her before and I'm enjoying the prose and her extraordinary imagination. She often plays for amusement when a lesser writer would go for the outright laugh and her best characters appear quiet and understated, managing to conceal their voluptuousness and sensuality, at least for a while.

Playing Sardines - a game in the dark, a game about desire, about wanting, all whipped up in a tale about the erotic allure of recipes: a cook whose obsessive love turns hungry and dangerous; a fan who tries to get into a celebrity novelist's sheets; a fanatical dieter and maker of lists working out how to deal with a husband who snores; a faddy eater thrown off-course by a miracle; a child greedy for love who faces up to her demon of jealousy - just some of the characters who shape this wonderful collection. Women yearning for what they haven't got - prepared to be wily, deceptive, cunning and perverse - all these strategies for survival in love and life are deployed here to mouth-watering effect.

While this is not the best of Roberts's works that I have read, it was certainly interesting. ( )
