Reminiscence, revenge and redemption are among themes explored in Seven Echoes, a diverse collection of fiction and life-writing by seven Nottinghamshire authors. Taste life as a teenager amid the bombs and barricades of 1970’s Belfast, meet a foul-mouthed Welsh parrot and enter the world of a man released into ‘the community’ after 56 years in a psychiatric hospital. Feel the fear of a young girl thrust into the unfamiliar world of a surgical children’s ward, meet Tom, an ordinary man who finds himself in extraordinary circumstances and enjoy a brief encounter in the rain.
