The stories in The Safety of Objects are both bizarre and believable, very funny but also frightening and sad. A girl's blonde Barbie doll seduces her teenage brother in an intense episode of erotic obsession; a couple go off the rails and smoke crack while their children are staying with their grandmother; and a lawyer seeks revenge on his boss by urinating into his potted plant every evening.

Product Description:
Safety of Objects
Review:
‘Homes couldn’t be more deliciously named: she kicks over the doll’s house and gives suburbanity a good shake’ -- The Guardian

‘Homes opens a window on a world where our neuroses rot in full view’ -- Sunday Herald

‘One of the best writers of her generation...absolutely in control of her subject. Simply surreal, funny and utterly original’ -- Leeds Guide
