Discover this brooding collection of short stories from one of
Britain's finest writers. A world where everyday life crackles with
the electricity sparking between men and women, between parents and
children, between friends. A son confesses to his mother that he is
cheating on his girlfriend; a student falls in love with her
lecturer and embarks on an affair with a man in the pub who looks
just like him. Young mothers pent-up in childcare dream
treacherously of other possibilities; a boy becomes aware of the
woman, a guest at his parents' holiday home, who is pressing up too
close against him on the beach. Hidden away inside the present, the
past is explosive; the future can open unexpectedly out of any
chance encounter; ordinary moments are illuminated with lightning
flashes of dread or pleasure. These stories about family life are
somehow undomesticated and dangerous. 'She is the writer we didn't
know we were waiting for, until she arrived' Anne Enright, Guardian
