First publication of a new collection of the Booker Prize-winner's
stories including those from her most recent hardback 'Taking
Pictures'. In Yesterday's Weather, Booker Prize-winning author Anne
Enright presents a series of deeply moving stories about women
stirred, bothered, or fascinated by men they cannot understand, or
understand too well. Enright's characters are haunted by the ghosts
of the lives they might have led - lit by new flames, old flames,
and flames that are guttering out. A woman's one night stand is
illuminated by dreams of a young boy on a cliff road, another's is
thwarted by an swarm of somnolent bees. A pregnant woman is stuck
in a slow lift with a tactile American stranger, a naked mother
changes a nappy in a hotel bedroom, and waits for her husband to
come back from the bar. This collection includes some of Enright's
best loved stories as well as her latest works. These are sharp,
vivid tales of loss and yearning, of surrender to responsibilities
or to unexpected delight; all share the unsettling, dislocated
reality, the subversive wit and awkward tenderness that have marked
Anne Enright as one of our most thrillingly gifted writers.
