This collection of short fiction aims to define the sometimes indefinable and to give voice to those struggling to make sense of what life throws at them.
Winter, 1904, and feisty twenty-one-year old Ellen has been summoned back from her new life in Hoboken, New Jersey, to the family farm on windswept Gower, in a last bid to prevent the impending death of her alcoholic father. On her return, she finds the family in disarray. Ailing William is gambling away large swathes of Thomas land; frustrated Eleanor is mourning the husband she once knew; and Ellen''s younger twin brothers face difficult choices. Ellen, tasked with putting her family''s lives in order, finds herself battling one impossible decision after another.
Jane Fraser's dark and unsettling debut collection of short stories explores the windswept Gower Peninsula of South Wales: a place of folklore and myth, birth and death, envy and revenge.
