Opis

The debut collection of the Orange- and Whitbread-shortlisted author of Buddha DaA beautiful collection--charming, witty, and touching--these stories give voice to a variety of different characters: from the little girl who wants to look "subtle" for her father's funeral, a child who has an email pen pal on Jupiter, and an old lady who becomes a star through "zimmerobics." Often writing in a vibrant Glaswegian vernacular, Donovan deftly gives her characters authenticity with a searing power, aided and abetted by tender subtlety.
