Contemporary Fiction

Fiction that grapples with the world as we know it.

A challenging collection…

This collection of short stories explores the trials of womanhood, from painfully real depictions of violence to metaphorical, fairytale-like vignettes about vulnerability. Some stories are more painful to read than others, but there’s a deep love and tenderness for all of the difficult women that shines through.
