Rosemary’s Book of the Week

And the world came tumbling out.
RA Mitchell.
Stories

Does life seem dreary and uninspiring?

Are you craving new perspectives on the people and things surrounding you?
Then it’s time to step inside the kaleidoscopic world of RA Mitchell, where humor loves company and quirky, fantastical creatures abound. In this collection, you will meet an automaton that comes to life for an exclusive dinner date, the ruthless celebrity chef who masterminds a vanilla extract cartel, two buskers who are locked in a dangerous rivalry, and newlyweds intent on stealing a puzzle box.

The nineteen stores span the globe, taking you on adventures in both obscure and famous locations such as Barcelona, Chicago and Schenectady, New York. From the mundane to the ethereal, dark comedy to romance. And the world came tumbling out has something to offer everyone. You will never look at the world the same again?
