The Missing Woman and Other Stories, The by Carole Burns
The stories in this collection circle around women who are either literally missing - a mother in rehab, a daughter never born - or who are missing some metaphorical piece of themselves. How does one balance safety with adventure? Dreams with practicality? Grief with joy? -- Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru
"Beautiful, memorable stories, artfully nuanced, boldly honest" Joanna Scott "These stories explore the complex harmonies within real imperfect relationships, revealing moments in a life when a carefully held balance shifts and, imperceptibly, that life is changed." Philip Gross
