Description
From "Sitting Pretty's" single, delicious moment frozen in time to "Turn of the Year's" eerie landscape of loss, internationally acclaimed author Pauline Holdstock's stories explore a reality once removed from our own; a place where her characters' inner lives fuse with the weird and wonderful world at large.
