Infused with gentle optimism, eleven uncompromising stories explore, each in its own way, the nature of sacrifice. . Mum and Nan struggle to contrive a sense of normal family life in the emotionally charged environment of a women&rsquo.s shelter. A visual artist faces the return of her wayward daughter, who brings home her new boyfriend, the lumbering behemoth, Zol. A bereaved woman lies restless and alone in bed, her thoughts troubled by the plaintive cries of the dog locked in next-door&rsquo.s laundry. . At once dark, poignant and witty, Isobel Blackthorn&rsquo.s first collection of short stories depicts intimately and honestly the travails and heroic responses of women and men confronting the pith of their lives.
