Suzannah Dunn
The best book yet from this witty writer
In these ten stories, Suzannah Dunn shows her considerable talent for writing short fiction
Wonderfully funny, clever observations of womens’ lives: Auntie Fay comes to Spain for the summer, survives on insulin injections, tans to the hue of a blood blister and routinely saves the skins of Renee and her unfortunate family; the sixth form do Pembrokeshire, on a field trip of stale cigarettes, smuggled scotch, and finally, mutiny; a young woman remembers her first real love – for the ghost of her aunt’s boyfriend
Dunn is poised to win a major prize -Venus Flaring was called in by the Booker judges
