A collection of short stories including reworked pieces and new musings.
◉ “If a reader of this book wasn’t aware prior, it would be immediately apparent that C K Stead is a literary giant.
“There is an effortlessness and sophistication to this collection of short stories that renders them artful and poetic. Yet there is such an intense humanness too, it’s easy to feel connected to the array of protagonists, many of whom were struggling in the literary world.
“However, the most striking feature to me is the amount of content packed into each short story, ensuring those who prefer weighty novels do not feel cheated, as I often do with the short story genre.” – Rachel
