What to expect
'Exhilarating, devastating, comforting, essential.' CLAIRE KILROY
'These are stories which sing off the page.' JAN CARSON
'Powerful, compelling and richly crafted.' MARY COSTELLO
'Profoundly intimate.' TAHMIMA ANAM
The highly-anticipated new collection from the BBC National Short Story Award-winning author of
Multitudes,
Intimacies and
Openings
'There must be moments when we let go - let go of all that we do, all that we are.'
A young Belfast theatre troupe brings its experimental production of
Hamlet to New York.
On a night-flight, travelling with a violin older than the United States, a professional musician slips through time.
A man who loses all he thought he had, and finds himself haunted by all he never will, comes to a painful new understanding of what it might mean to love.
Transporting and profound, these are stories of love, grief, longing, of new beginnings, and the ways we find shelter in each other.
'One of our best short story writers.'
THE TIMES
'[Caldwell] holds the reader right up against the tender humanity of her characters.' EIMEAR McBRIDE
