SUNDAY TIMES: ‘This vital collection does what the best stories and the best journeys do; takes you out of yourself into other places, other lives’
With stories from some of the best writers working today, A Kind of Compass brings us to places and situations we could never otherwise experience. Funny, unnerving, vivid and real, these stories evoke the nature of distance, exploring the many ways in which it is possible to feel far from home.
