The debut work, a short story collection from the bestselling,
critically acclaimed author of Under the Skin, The Crimson Petal
and the White and The Book of Strange New Things. Michel Faber's
short stories reveal an extraordinarily vivid imagination, a deep
love of language and an adventurous versatility. Playful, yet
profoundly moving, wickedly satirical yet sincerely humane, these
tales never fail to strike unexpected chords. 'Some Rain Must Fall'
juxtaposes the tragic circumstances of traumatised schoolchildren
with the interior monologue of a teacher/psychologist enlisted to
aid their recovery. In the pseudo-sci-fi 'Fish' a mother tries to
protect her child in a terrifying world where fish swim through the
streets and lurk in alleyways. Faber's collection is rich and
assured, with a dazzling reach.
