Word and Women: Four is an eclectic collection of high quality
prose, a many-layered read of subtlety, passion, and depth. There
are startling, compelling and moving texts: an insight into the
dark and crippling relationships between husbands and wives, and
the love between a father and daughter. Nocturnal visitors bivouac
on the edge of vision, the lost follow a winter's map. There is a
rapid intellectual joy ride with a Komodo dragon. There are
memories of haunted trees, the struggle for recognition and change,
of living with the threat of sectarian violence, and so much more.
This book reflects the way we live, hope and love now. This is a
book for the reader who wants to peel back the layers and wander
through rich and complex worlds featuring winning entries from our
annual new writing competition. This year's guest judge Naomi Wood,
author of The Godless Boys, has selected a range of texts that show
us what it is to be alive in a time of change. Jamilah Ahmed, Kate
