Multitudes by Lucy Caldwell
'A lively, humane book, gritty but wholehearted.' Colin Barrett, Irish Times 'One of the finest short-story writers at work today.' Wendy Erskine 'Exhilarating.' Sunday Times 'Brilliant.' Sunday Business Post From Belfast to London and back again, the eleven stories in Lucy Caldwell's acclaimed first collection chronicle the heartache, joy, and tenderness of growing up. With lives caught in the suspense of transition - between city and country; between the in crowd and the out; between home and escape; between love and loneliness - Multitudes culminates with the heart-wrenching and unforgettable title story, as a young woman goes through her first labour and the traumatic days that follow. Deeply affecting, intimate and yet resonant, these are stories that squeeze right into the fractures that end up shaping the course of lives.
Born in Belfast in 1981, Lucy Caldwell is the author of four novels, several stage plays and radio dramas, and four collections of short stories. Elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 2018, she was also the editor of Being Various: New Irish Short Stories in 2019, and has won the E. M. Forster Award, from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and the Walter Scott Prize among others.
