A beautiful collection – charming, witty and touching – these stories give voice to a variety of different characters: from the little girl who wants to look 'subtle’ for her father’s funeral, a child who has an email pen pal on Jupiter and an old lady who becomes a star through 'zimmerobics’.
Often writing in a vibrant Glaswegian vernacular, Donovan deftly gives her characters authenticity with a searing power, aided and abetted by tender subtlety.
