Description: Virago Press and the Asham Award, the foremost prize for stories by women, present a collection of tales to send you to places you've never been before. Here are tales of people who travel far and those who stay at home and dream; of strange things in suitcases; of roads that should not have been taken; of exotic cities and shabby towns. Some are running away, and some are travelling to come home.
