A Poetry Book Society recommendation. Author's seventh poetry collection. A series of long narrative poems celebrating the female condition, both accessible in style and often surreal in their imagery. Duffy stood down as Poet Laureate in May 2019 after a decade in the post. "Carol Ann Duffy presents a teasing, quick-witted take on the contemporary woman's experience, looking for the modern in the mythical, picking the fact from the fantastical, finding the truth inside the fairy-tale." –The Times
