A beautiful collection of stories by a pre-eminent writer, shortlisted for major awards. Fiona Kidman has a genius for peeling back the lives of ordinary people to reveal their hidden passions and complexities. In this brilliant new collection, she explores - with her customary subtlety and insight - how we are all touched and sometimes scarred by the flames of emotion - whether it be the impossible love of a pregnant woman for a married man, grief for a dead baby or loss of a young woman in mysterious circumstances. Ranging in time from the colonial period to the present day, these stories by one of New Zealand's foremost writers are beautifully crafted, intriguing and evocative. ' Her stories remind me of those of Alice Munro. Though they are very much of a time and place they have a universal dimension.' - Booksellers News Shortlisted for the NZ Post Awards and the Frank O'Connor Short Story Award.… (mere)

As much as I admire Dame Fiona and her work, I am some what surprised that this collection of short stories has been shortlisted for the NZ Post Book Award this year. Not that they aren't well executed and yes I can still hear Dame Fiona reading extracts of some of these at the festival, however like all short stories in a collection by the time I have completed them when looking back on the titles I struggle to recollect the tales that lie within each.
The collection is divided into 3 parts, I'm not sure why,although in part 2, the three stories are linked and I felt that they would have formed the basis of an independent novel. All the stories, I enjoyed as they form a picture of New Zealand and married life/relationships of those times. But in some instances I wanted more... but I guess that is often the way with short stories. ( )
