- Summary:
- A first collection of "women's stories" by a talented, award-winning Irish writer
- The "salt water" of this collection is not only the sea, but also tears, sweat, and the amniotic fluid where we swim. Often on the brink, the women narrators in these seventeen stories encounter various lessons in a variety of landscapes: shadows of cruelty in the backlanes of '60s Dublin to affairs of the heart in America, Europe, and the West of Ireland in the '90s. In struggling to find their way and themselves in a world they cannot always comprehend, they discover many ways of telling a story.
- Notes:
- Some stories previously published in 'The Irish press' and other publications, sometimes in slightly different form.
