Borderland

Hugh Vaughan moved to Australia where he was able to contrast and compare life at home and abroad. This is a wonderfully descriptive collection of short stories from Irish life of a bygone age while Vaughan is one of the most eloquent Irish writers to emerge in recent years.  Mark Stokes - The Irish Emigrant

‘I have just this minute finished reading your stories - I thoroughly enjoyed reading them, thanks very much. The whole book is a lovely piece of work and I will be reading it again! I was very aware, especially while reading "Down Memory Lane", of having grown up in a very similar environment to you. It pulls everything together and also your descriptions in every story are so clear. I was particularly affected by the story "My Dear Boy". I really love the way you can draw the reader into a moment. Nuala, New Zealand Library.

‘A Bump in the Road is a collection of delightful stories that brought back fond memories of my own childhood in suburban Australia, however the Irish flavour makes it all the more interesting ... More, especially during the 'troubles'. This book is best enjoyed at a leisurely pace, leaving time to ponder and reminisce between stories. Hugh Vaughan has a gift for storytelling’ Chosen by Regan, Melbourne Book Club..
