A collection of ten new stories by one of Ireland's most renowned short story writers.
Sharply observed and beautifully written, this new collection is concerned with women who find themselves in unfamiliar territory of one kind or another and are trying to find a sense of equilibrium. Themes of risk, danger, conflict, freedom and control and adventure are threaded through the stories.
All she wants is a new country, a new language, new food. She feels, still, she can renew herself in a completely new place. She feels this, though she doesn't really believe it.- from "Helansi"
