Truth be told, I was wary of a short-story collection by a poet, the two disciplines being as different from one another as photography and film-making. But colour me corrected: Frances Leviston’s debut work of fiction positively knocked my socks off. Each of the 10 stories in The Voice in My Ear is about a different woman called Claire — an apt appellation for characters illuminating aspects of modern life.
