Synopsis

An outstanding collection of stories from a unique and unforgettable voice of women s contemporary fiction. A young girl talks to the elderly owner of a dilapidated house her parents are buying, and is shocked by the woman's revelation of her father's suicide. A woman, holidaying in a convent in the Pyrenees, reassesses her affair after an encounter with an elderly couple. Travelling by ship with her family to a new life, a woman's acceptance of an offer of babysitting could lead to tragedy. A woman still maintaining an on-off relationship with her former partner realises she has more in common with the rent boy who works outside their flat than she first thought. An exceptional literary stylist, Lynch's prose in this, her second story collection, fizzes with energy, as she explores themes of immigration, war, displacement, patriarchy, misogyny, family and parenthood. Tea for the Rent Boy confirms her position as one of the country's outstanding writers of short fiction, a deeply humane chronicler of universal female experience.
