Set in Ulster, south Wales and Italy, many of the stories in ' A City Burning' concern a point of choice and decision. Characters reach a turning point at which their lives can become fuller and more meaningful, but at a cost to themselves. In others they bear witness to an event must decide whether to become involved or pass by. They could be ordinary people in Belfast during the Troubles or their aftermath, or during the Covid-19 pandemic, or priests facing a new religious reality in their ministries, or family members in a domestic situation in south Wales. Characters are forced to look into themselves; each must make a choice of how to live their future lives. These stories are vividly written and authentically realised, with Graham' s eye for a telling detail and instinct for a loaded silence drawing in the reader. She has created memorable characters and situations which linger in the mind long after the story has ended.
Graham is a tv producer of over 100 documentaries and factual programmes for BBC, ITV, S4C and Channel 4, including ' The Story of Wales' . She produced and co-wrote the Oscar entrant cinema feature ' Branwen' (6 BAFTA Cymru nominations and Best Film at the Celtic Media Festival), and was a screenwriter on drama projects set in Italy, Romania and Ireland. She began her career in ITV, and spent eight years as a producer at one of Britain' s rare production co-operatives, Teliesyn. Graham' s stories have been widely published and several have been shortlisted in competitions. She was born in Belfast, and has lived and worked for many years in south Wales.
