'Long Sentences' by Deborah Pearson is an adventurous and exciting exploration of what it means to start your life again after leaving an ex-lover. Sarah is catapulted into a surreal world of paperback stories, a trip to Paris, and a 300 year old man, whose advice turns out to be more real than she ever could have imagined:
'I met the same person as me once...I did. In India. The year was 1932... I had to kill my double! And boy did I ever have a hard time hiding the body. Tried to put him in the sewers...'
Deborah's writing has been shortlisted for the Rod Hall Memorial Award with Paines Plough, and has been produced in Glasgow, Berlin, Canada and London. She is a member of the Royal Court Young Writers' Programme.
