Kate Atkinson: I actually own Not the end of the world, and had forgotten about it until this moment! I bought it during term-time, so had no time to read it, and had evidently been side-tracked by the time I was allowed to read it. I did read a few of them, and enjoyed them, but, IIRC, they were more like vignettes than actual stories. And I think I had the problem I often do with short stories, where my brain's marked the book as a novel, so the setting has to be more different than she managed for me to re-set between stories ;-)
