Power stances in loo cubicles; heartfelt letters from a stranger's
parents; clairvoyant coffee shop customers; awkward post-threesome
encounters... In this collection of short stories, Canada-based
Micaela Maftei and UK-based Laura Tansley collaborate
transatlantically to craft a single, blended voice; both in form
and content, their stories consider place, displacement and the
spaces where the two overlap. With insight and humour the authors
map the ongoing search for selfhood across various stages and
settings of women's lives, magnifying the mundane to remind us that
life is made up of the tiny details we often overlook. The Reach of
a Root speaks to life's anxieties, triumphs and trials, fusing
Colin Barrett's exploration of place and identity, the dark humour
of Amy Hempel and the physicality of Joyce Carol Oates.
