Summary

This short story collection paints complex characters, myths, medicine and magic, all set in the former Portuguese colony of Macau. Macau was the first European settlement in Asia and over some 450 years a unique Macanese culture developed. Graeme's stories have won competitions and been published in English, Portuguese and Chinese.

The Goddess of Macau Summary

The Goddess of Macau: Short Stories by Graeme Hall

I love these stories. They're beautifully drawn with precise and delicate imagery that conjures a world of love and loss, memories and phantoms. Ghosts walk among the living. Characters cross closed borders, but are haunted - or stalked - by what they've left behind. This is a readable and enjoyable collection of stories which give a precious glimpse into a rich and unfamiliar world which is simultaneously graspable and tantalisingly out of reach. -Ebba Brooks, writer, creative writing tutor and book festival founder There is a subtlety to Graeme's writing, which is characterised by a sensitivity to the nuances of character and setting. His stories unfold in a lyrical, understated style - a literary equivalent of pointillism. - Dr Rachel Connor, novelist, dramatist and Lecturer, Leeds Beckett University
