For almost forty years, Éilís Ní Dhuibhne has captivated readers and critics alike with the dazzle and daring of her stories. Hailed as an original voice from her first collection, she has gone on to create a body of work that has established her as one of Ireland's finest and most compelling storytellers.
The fourteen stories gathered here demonstrate the breadth of Ní Dhuibhne's achievement across her long writing career, particularly in terms of her depiction of the richly complex territory of women's lives.
