Sinopse
Longlisted for the Gordon Burn Prize 2019.
Set in the author’s native Belfast, the 10 stories in Sweet Home lay bare the heartbreak and quiet tragedies that run under the surface of everyday lives. A lonely woman is fascinated by her niqab-wearing neighbours, a middle-aged teacher becomes obsessed with a young Gaelic football player and an employer covers for his two employees caught having sex in a public toilet.
Wendy Erskine offers perfectly formed, brilliantly observed portraits of people trying to carve out a life for themselves, all the while being buffeted by the loss, grief and regret that come their way. Warm, compassionate and funny, Sweet Home captures life in contemporary East Belfast, in all of its forms.
Resumo da Crítica
"Wendy Erskine's first collection, Sweet Home...is every bit as good as her early stories in the always astute Stinging Fly magazine promised." (Jon McGregor, New Statesman)
