<b>The first collection of extraordinary stories from one of the greatest writers of our time.</b><br> <br> With astonishing clarity, Booker Prize winner Galgut explores both the intimacies and violence of family life against the complex landscape of 1980s South Africa.<br> <br> From a mother who experiences a devastating unmooring after her child falls gravely ill, to a son retracing his late father's brief yet passionate affair, the stories ripple out from one another, tenderly exposing those bonds we cannot escape.<br> <br> <b>PRAISE FOR DAMON GALGUT-</b><br> <b><br> 'Galgut seems to deliver effortlessly...there's nothing he can't do' <i>Times</i></b><br> <b><i><br></i>'Damon Galgut is very nearly without peer...an essential writer' Garth Greenwell</b><br> <b><br> 'Terrifically agile and consistently interesting...certainly up there with Nadine Gordimer and JM Coetzee' <i>Guardian</i></b>
