A collection of twenty-four stories, divided into 'North' (Scotland) and 'South' (England), neatly linked by a sardonic story taking place on a train journey between them. McWilliam's fourth book preceded by three novels and succeeded by a memoir documenting her years of blindness.

"For sheer writerly distinction this year, my palm goes to Candia McWilliam for her collection of short stories." –Joanna Trollope, Daily Telegraph (Books of the Year)
