Sharing Sarah

by Kate Rigby

"They shared Sarah like they shared everything else: the car, the flat, their shirts. Rick had her Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Rob - Tuesdays, Thursdays, Sundays. Saturdays she did her own thing…"

One woman, two men, one shared arrangement. But can they all be satisfied with this? A humorous risqué short, first published as ‘Heads Or Tails’ by Skrev Press.

11 pages, Kindle Edition

About the author

I've been writing for nearly forty years. Good gracious, that long? I realized my unhip credentials were mounting so decided to write about it. Little Guide to Unhip was first published in 2010 and is now updated and republished.

However I'm not totally unhip. My punk novel, Fall Of The Flamingo Circus was published by Allison & Busby (1990) and by Villard (American hardback 1990). It's now been re-kindled.

I received a Southern Arts bursary for my novel Where A Shadow Played (now Did You Whisper Back?)

Skrev Press published my novels Seaview Terrace (2003) Sucka! (2004) and Break Point (2006) and other shorter work has appeared in Skrev’s avant garde magazine Texts’ Bones including a version of my satirical novella Lost The Plot.

Thalidomide Kid was first published by Bewrite Books (2007)

Reviews

[Sim Alec Sansford · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hilarious!

I loved this short! It was classic tongue in cheek humour if you’ll pardon the expression.

A quick read full of wit and hilarity!

Rick and Rob may think they have the upper hand here, but it’s Sarah who comes out on top (so to speak!)

Highly recommend for you daily dose of humour.

[Jessica Tallis · Rating 5 out of 5]

'Sharing Sarah' offers a refreshingly humorous take on the complexities of romantic entanglements. Within its pages unfolds a narrative both witty and astutely crafted, showcasing the absurdity and charm of its characters' predicament.

The premise, centered around a pact between two men to share the affections of one woman, sets the stage for a series of comedic misadventures. As the trio navigates the intricacies of their arrangement, readers are treated to a tapestry of laughter and delight, punctuated by moments of genuine insight.

The character of Sarah emerges as a captivating protagonist, her cheeky wit and clever maneuvering adding layers of intrigue to the unfolding narrative. Her astute observation regarding a loophole adds a delightful twist to the storyline, further enhancing its appeal.

Throughout the narrative, echoes of Nina Stibbe's narrative prowess resonate, imbuing the story with a sense of familiarity and warmth. Much like Stibbe's works, 'Sharing Sarah' serves as a beacon of levity, offering solace and amusement to those seeking respite from the mundane.

In conclusion, 'Sharing Sarah' stands as a testament to the enduring power of humor and human connection. With its deftly drawn characters and infectious wit, it promises to leave readers thoroughly entertained and uplifted. Highly recommended for those in search of a literary escape!

I can honestly say I've never read a book like this. Sarah was a such a fun person to read about. Such a gripping read. Just a pity it's such a short book.
