Synopsis

"...an amazing body of work...this book deserves tremendous success and a very wide readership."
The Reading Life Blog

The Scattering is a collection of nineteen stories, many set on the Irish border, where this London-born author currently lives. These stories explore states of liminality: life on the Irish border, dual identities, emigration, being between states - certainty and doubt, codependency and freedom. Some explore themes of catastrophe and constraint. All explore what it means to be alive in a fraught and ever-changing world. This first collection from prizewinning author and playwright, Jaki McCarrick explores the dark side of human nature, often with a postmodern Ulster gothic twist.

One of the stories The Visit won the Wasafiri Prize for new fiction, and many have been published to much acclaim in literary magazines.
