| Description: | Select Guide Rating An exhilarating collection of stories from the legendary Jackie Kay <p>‘A stunner. I am heartbroken to have finished it’ Ali Smith<br><br> In Jackie Kay’s first collection of stories, ordinary lives are transformed by secrets. Her world might seem familiar – sex, death and family cast long shadows – but the roles of mothers, daughters and lovers are imagined and revealed in the most surprising of ways.<br><br> Sometimes it is the things that we choose to hide within ourselves which can transform us – and that has never been more true than in Jackie Kay’s warm, exuberant storytelling. She sees the extraordinary in everyday life, and lights it up with humour and generosity in a way that is uniquely her own.<br><br> ‘If stories like these can still be written, the short story form must still be alive, not to say kicking’ <i>Irish Times</i></p> |
