Dark, moving and beautifully written, Bernie McGill's debut collection of short stories explores the lives of women across the generations. From the storm-battered coastline of the north of Ireland to the sleeping villas of Andalusia, McGill's characters grapple with the consequences of affairs, bereavement, alcoholism, illness and murder. Compassionate and quietly powerful, McGill's stories capture intimate moments of loss, love, and healing in a troubled age. SHORTLISTED for the Edge Hill Short Story Prize 2014. 'If I could be any other kind of writer, I would want to be Bernie McGill' Ian Sansom (author of the Mobile Library Mystery Series) 'A writer to watch out for' Sunday Tribune
