Publisher's Synopsis
This is a dazzling, witty and richly varied collection of short stories, which includes contributions by six much-loved writers - Patricia Duncker, Rachel Cusk, Tessa Hadley, Emily Perkins, Nancy Lee and Kate Pullinger - plus the twelve brand-new voices of those shortlisted for the Asham Short-Story Award 2007.
Asham House in Sussex was once home to Virginia and Leonard Woolf and is the inspiration behind the Asham Award. Launched in 1996 to support and encourage new writers, it is Britain's only prize for short stories by women.
