Love, sex, jealousy and hate form the core of this stimulating and provocative new collection. The near-future, the not-so-distant past, new technology, old habits and other millennial minutiae ebb and flow throughout tales both global and personal.

Review:
Praise for Fay Weldon’s short stories:
‘Weldon’s stories pull no punches. There is always humour, and the wry and life-hardened smiles of middle age are often set in contrast to the po-faced enthusiasms and idiocies of youth.’
Independent on Sunday
‘Weldon is an enthusiastic observer of social trends and the stories are bang up-to-date.’
Financial Times
‘Immaculately written, simple, stylish and swallowable whole. Her stories are so smart and sassy and multiply ironic.’
Scotsman
