The Geometry of DesireNiccol’s love stories are by turns darkly humorous, poignant and insightful: a style-obsessed architect realises it’s what’s on the inside that counts; a man is so preoccupied with collecting that he lets the most precious thing of all slip through his fingers; a girl’s first experience of falling in love changes her view of the world; a woman comes to terms with infertility; and a man tries to swim against the tide of middle-age.

The Temperature of WaterA wonderfully varied collection of tales which will take you under the surface of the oft times frantic lives of those seeking solace, understanding, redemption and love. ”The Temperature of Water is an important book. The author tackles themes that other writers in this country simply don’t; deep down gritty stories recorded with an unflinching eye and lack of sentimentality. Collectively, these stories pack a punch.“ Dame Fiona Kidman ”Linda Niccol's second collection of short stories, The Temperature of Water, looks at love in many forms – frustrated, re-ignited, thwarted, found or just plain ordinary. Like her first collection, The Geometry of Desire, it is by turns comic, poignant, reflective and didactic. Its predecessor impressed with its sharp handling of dialogue, its sense of a visual dimension and its intelligence, and from those perspectives The Temperature of Water will not disappoint.“ Steve Walker, The Listener, 2009 Published 2008 Silver Owl Press.
