Synopsis
A beautiful collection - charming, witty and touching - these stories give voice to a variety of different characters: from the little girl who wants to look 'subtle' for her father's funeral, a child who has an email pen pal on Jupiter and an old lady who becomes a star through 'zimmerobics'. Often writing in a vibrant Glaswegian vernacular, Donovan deftly gives her characters authenticity with a searing power, aided and abetted by tender subtlety.

Review
"Anne Donovan beautifully moves from thought Scots to said English and vice versa, in these completely convincing stories about the beginnings and ends of things; she traps children, happiness, Glasgow, surprise, in a style combining veracity and jokes with startling bliss and plenty grit." -- Candia McWilliam
"Sharp, compassionate storytelling that glows with the poignancy of childhood and the joy of a prohibited tongue." -- Michel Faber
Book Description
From the Orange- and Whitbread-shortlisted author of Buddha Da
