Description
'So varied, so subtle, so tonally poised - a stunning collection.' TESSA HADLEY'One of the finest short-storywriters at work today.
These stories are honest, finely nuanced and indelible in their impact.'WENDY ERSKINE'You'll lose yourself in this collection and, most likely, find yourself too.
Each story is a masterclass in attentiveness.'JAN CARSONThe much-anticipated new collection from the BBC National Short Story Award-winning author of Multitudes and Intimacies. I still sometimes wonder if one could draw a window in the wall, or in the air, and step through it together.
To somewhere else, entirely new. From a passionate affair in Blitz-era London, to a highly charged Christmas party in Belfast, to a trip to Marrakech which could form a new family, the thirteen striking stories of Openings pulse with possibility and illuminate those fleeting but recognisable moments of heartbreak and hope that can change the course of a life. 'It takes a writer as subtle, compassionate and clear-eyed as Caldwell to track the hidden forces that work upon us, to illuminate our secret selves.
This is prose that liberates.'CLAIRE KILROY'Caldwell has a glorious skill for creating narratives in which every element works in perfect tandem.'SUNDAY TIMES
