Review "Not only can he scare the bejesus out of you, he can make your heart swell." The Times "By turns crepuscular, buoyant, delicate, wry, horrific, otherworldly, this worldly and organ-rupturingly funny collection is a vitamin-boost for the British short-story." David Mitchell "Here is a writer who can compare with Conrad in his ability to write the perfect sentence." Guardian "The tales are simple, varied and, without exception, leave you begging to know more." Independent on Sunday "Michel Faber is a writer unafraid of trying something different... the results are intensely powerful." Big Issue" David Mitchell "... wry, horrific, otherworldly, this worldly and organ-rupturingly funny collection is a vitamin-boost for the British short-story." Guardian "Here is a writer who can compare with Conrad in his ability to write the perfect sentence." Independent on Sunday "The tales are simple, varied and, without exception, leave you begging to know more." Big Issue "Michel Faber is a writer unafraid of trying something different ... the results are intensely powerful." Product Description Deft and lyrical, this paperback edition of Michel Faber's new collection of stories is his first since his auspicious debut, "Some Rain Must Fall". It has sealed his reputation as one of Britain's most daring and original authors. Acclaimed for his pitch-perfect prose and brilliant characterisation, Faber is also celebrated for his mastery of contrasting styles. From achingly sad lost lives, through moments of exquisitely distilled happiness, to biblical innocence and savagery, Faber's characters are redeemed, abandoned, beloved and laid bare. About the Author Michel Faber has written five previous books, including the international bestseller The Crimson Petal and the White, and the Whitbread-shortlisted novel, Under the Skin. He has also won several short-story awards, including the Neil Gunn, Ian St James and Macallan, and his work has been translated in over 30 countries. Born in Holland, brought up in Australia, he now lives in the Scottish Highlands.
