A remarkable and striking collection of short stories.
Michael's Redhill's first short-story collection explores the highways and byways of human relationships, marital and extra- marital, parental and sibling. Both affecting and unsettling, darker than Redhill's first novel, these stories share that book's fascination with - and acute observation of - the things that human beings can do to each other, the ways they can misunderstand each other and the pain they can cause each other, often quite unwittingly.
