Whether it's the trauma of the pandemic and its many isolations, or the chaotic, draining lives of loved ones or neighbours, these stories explore the ingenuity of people striving to rebuild themselves, fortify their defences and, most courageously, connect.Bringing with her the open-hearted lyricism, intense textures and inherent strangeness that set her poetry apart, Holmes arrives at the short story as the finished a master chronicler of 21st century Britain.WINNER OF THE ARTS FOUNDATION AWARD FOR PLACE WRITINGWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
