Description
A.L. Kennedy’s fifth collection of short stories show us exactly what becomes of the broken-hearted. Her characters are perfectly ordinary people – whose marriages founder; who sit on their own in a cinema watching a film with no soundtrack; who risk sex in a hotel with an anonymous stranger or who order a luxurious meal as their lives fall apart – but the stories she weaves around them are truly remarkable.She reveals the sadness, violence, hurt and terror, but also the redemption and the love – and she does so with enormous human compassion and leaps of black humour.From the winner of the Costa Book Award for Day.

| About The Author | A. L. Kennedy has twice been selected as one of Granta’s Best of Young British Novelists and has won a host of other awards – including the Costa Book of the Year for her novel Day. She lives in Essex. |
The hardest thing about the advent of a new collection of stories by A L Kennedy… is the search for synonyms for 'brilliant'. Her uncanny dialogue is as note-perfect as J D Salinger's her vision as astutely bleak as Alice Munro's, and her ability to summon up a society in a few strokes rivals William Trevor's |
