The Weird Sisters
‘See, we love each other. We just don't happen to like each other very much.’ THE WEIRD SISTERS is a winsome, trenchantly observant novel about the often warring emotions between sisters.
The Light of Paris

Maiden Speech
Witty new Scottish poet writes powerfully of love, and hilariously of love's pitfalls. On display are wit, wordplay and an exhilarating flexibility of rhyme and rhythm. Alongside a barmaid's address to 'the Lads' is a succulent celebration of a wedding-cake. Jaundiced Sirens laconically slide closing couplets in, like rapiers. A subtly sustained and cunningly crafted sonnet sequence, assessing an affair, comprises the last rites it abjures.... Mistress of the telling phrase, Eleanor Brown seems as joyously drawn to her themes, and their expression, 'as music draws a dancer.' -- Stewart Conn.
The Weird Sisters
Unwillingly brought together to care for their ailing mother, three sisters who were named after famous Shakespearean characters discover that everything they have been avoiding may prove more worthwhile than expected.
White Ink Stains
Eleanor Brown's first collection, Maiden Speech, published by Bloodaxe in 1996, included her much anthologised "girlfriend's revenge" poem 'Bitcherel' along with a widely praised sequence of fifty love and end-of-love sonnets written during her 20s.

While all of the women writers featured here have written books connected to Paris, their personal stories of ...
