About this listen

Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles.

Of course, of everybody of whom this particular hero was suspicious, he was most suspicious of femme fatale, of this woman he was in love with. Even before he discovered she had a spell on her he was distrustful of her. He didn't want to be, but that's just how it goes.

Written by Anna Burns before she completed her dazzling Man Booker-winning novel Milkman, 'Mostly Hero' is the hilarious, hell-raising descendant of Quentin Tarantino and the Brothers Grimm.

I loved listening ti this book, it us quirky and funny and I loved the author/narrators Irish accent accentuating the humour for this Kiwi girl. the characters are genuinely funny, I loved the use of language and the story is delightfully wacky. I walked along listening to it smiling from ear to ear. absolutely loved this cleverly presented book.

quirky funny book.
