In a Bolt of White Cloth Rooke brings together an extraordinary array of characters in scenes and circumstances which flow easily back and forth from wild hilatiry to deeply felt sorrow. The distance between dream and reality is often blurred in these finely tuned stories. In past collections, Rooke's characters and stories are firmly rooted in the apparently common and everyday events of the everyman in all of us. When the exceptional does occur, Rooke has the uncanny ability to make it seem the most natural thing int he world.
