| Zusammenfassung: | "Nominated for the Whitbread Prize with her debut novel, Born Free, Laura Hird is one of the most talented writers of her generation. Urban tales of despair and dysfunction are her trademark, yet it is the possibility of hope, just out of reach, that unifies her new collection of stories. Set in the low-rent areas of her native Edinburgh, Hird's slices of reality are gritty, bleak and often darkly funny. She skilfully shows how, just as circumstances can reveal the darkness in 'good' people, so seemingly irredeemable characters can harbour well-hidden pockets of humanity." Klappentext |
