Zero Hours on the Boulevard - Tales of Independence and Belonging by Parthian Books
In these stories people strive to make a place, a living, a life with meaning in a new country or sense in an old one: from zero hour contracts in Bridgend and Munich to scraping a living as a mermaid on the streets of Barcelona. -- Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru
'A book of many voices- angry, hopeful, confused and weary - about our uncertain timesWhat all these tales have in common is a belief in the individual's story, and in the power of smaller countries to give new perspectives on the world we think we know.' - Patrick McGuinness
