edit data

The past presses on the present in the writings of Stephanie Shields. She injects magical realism into her intriguing plots. She is praised for her skill in developing character through dialogue, her adeptness at presenting pacey and unpredictable plotlines and her dark humour.

After Amba is Stephanie’s second novel. Amba’s short life story spans the late Edwardian Era, the Great War, the Roaring Twenties/Jazz Age, and the Second World War. The contemporary part of the novel begins in 2018, covers the Covid years and beyond. From lesbian love in the Roaring Twenties to a significant age gap relationship, and a calamitous hen party in contemporary times, and a fine full-circle finale, this novel will surprise and captivate readers.

Stephanie Shields and 2 other people liked Tracy Larner-Brown's review of The Strange Woman: "Wow, what a fabulous read. A failed witch trial in 1621, a love story 400 years later, a demon, magick, nature, friendship, and family. The power of women when they pull together is shown time and again through this book."
