Description: This is a collection of 34 short stories by Irish women writers both past and present. It serves to showcase work that is often overlooked in the literary ledger, despite the widely acknowledged gift that Irish women writers have shown for the short story in the 20th century. Spanning almost an entire century, and set in diverse locations, such as Dublin, New York, Kerry and Greece, these stories reveal a collective voice both imaginative and tough, together with an eclectic vision that shrewdly exposes what lies just below the surface of people's lives and the worlds they inhabit. -- Publisher description
