Synopsis

Delve into a world of change and reinvention.

Where relationships are as delicate as turtle eggs, and just as easily smashed.

This poignant short story collection explores the pivotal moments that transform our lives. Jenny, whose life is defined by small disasters, discovers a bigger, more generous version of herself. A traveller girl might just win her race and alter her life’s course. A widow, cut off in a riverside backwater, opens her heart to a stranger.

In this captivating collection by award-winning writer, Alice Fowler, readers will be moved by the raw vulnerability of human connection, and the resilience that allows us to grow and thrive in the face of hardship. In change, Fowler’s characters find the ability to be truly free.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Alice Fowler is drawn to writing about outsiders: people whose lives have gone awry and how they try to wrest them back. Landscape and the natural world are powerful sources of inspiration. She enjoys how, in the short story form, complex threads can be unpicked and rewoven, within a relatively small word count. She worked as a journalist until 2006, writing features and interviews. Her short stories have won and been printed in anthologies. She won the Historical Writers’ Association short story prize in 2020 and the Wells Festival of Literature short story prize in 2021. She has been shortlisted for the Harper’s Bazaar short story prize and the Bournemouth Writing Prize. Alice also writes longer fiction. Her historical novel was longlisted for the 2021 Stylist Feminist Fiction Prize.
