Produktbeschreibung

'These are sharp, wry, playful stories of split and secret selves, alter-egos, doppelgangers - of escape routes from the very contemporary and existential crises their women find themselves in.'

- Lucy Caldwell, author of Intimacies

Andie can see no other way to escape a wedding than by hiding in a tree. Esther starts a new life in a King's Cross hotel with a bad-tempered ventriloquist dummy, while Gina finally leaves a group of infuriating friends - but not before providing them with a suitable replacement.

Ways of Living is Gemma Seltzer's keen exploration of what it means to be a modern woman inhabiting the urban landscape. Ten stories of ordinary women going to extraordinary lengths to be understood, acting in bold and unpredictable ways as they map their identities onto London's streets.

How do we speak and listen to each other? Who gets to talk? And what is the true power of quiet in a noisy world?
