‘Dauntingly fresh’ OBSERVER’Hot, sparkling and exciting’ INDEPENDENT’Mercurial and elusive’ ADAM MARS-JONESA. L. Barker dissects the unnerving emotions of everyday life with the sly humour and exquisite feel for language that prompted Auberon Waugh to declare that she ‘writes like an angel and I love her’.In her tenth collection of stories, Barker unfolds tales of cunning, fancy and shifting alliances. Here a young boy fosters grand illusions; a wife faces broken promises; a dutiful committee woman meets a sparky old gentleman; a witch is drowned; an intruder insinuates himself into a lonely woman’s holiday; and commonplace superstition mingles effortlessly with submerged desire.
