'A major talent' Hilary Mantel Shortlisted for the Edge Hill Short
Story Prize Whether seeking knowledge, riches, or a better life,
the characters in these stories are united by a quest for lasting
value, as they ask how we should treat our world, our work, our
selves, and each other. A vainglorious mine owner dreams of
harnessing all of nature to the machinery of commerce. Two ladies
of a certain age hunt rare butterflies in a pre-First World War
Europe already experiencing the first bites of biodiversity loss. A
climate campaigner must choose between personal happiness and
political action. A rural Welsh community is fascinated and angered
by glimpses of its invisible, wealthy neighbours. Exact and
lyrical, compassionate, and full of wit and truth, this debut
collection from Jo Lloyd, winner of the BBC National Short Story
Award, announces a fresh new voice with a sensibility all her own.
