A Calculating Woman and Other Stories
by Barbara LennoxPublish: Nov 30, 2024Literary Fiction Book Overview
Life is strange. These stories are stranger ...
A wife measures her life in probabilities, a history buff loses himself in the past, a business woman meets a tall dark stranger, a god gets a telling off, a modeller copies Prometheus' theft of fire, an aristocrat struggles to survive an apocalyptic future, a climber descends into a volcano, a piper is given a magical tune, a woman's baby is stolen by the Sidhe, a fairy gets a shit job.
All of life is here, weird, wonderful, tragic, transformative, funny, irreverent, heartwarming, elegiac. A Calculating Woman and Other Stories is a collection of tales inspired by Scotland - its landscape, its myths, its culture, and its people. A collection to dip in and out of as the mood takes you.
