I never forgot A.S. Byatt's stunning novel 'Possession' and had hoped that her short stories were going to leave me similarly bowled over.

There were 3 stories, all based on the paintings of Matisse. The first is my very favourite, all set in a hairdresser's shop. The other 2 held less of my attention, but they were still fun to read. I would probably need more than 3 of her stories to read before I can make an executive decision...
