Kay's first collection of short stories. Warm, exuberant story-telling focussing on the familiar territory of sex, death, and family, but with a twist in its tail. Appointed Makar (poet laureate of Scotland) in 2016, Kay completed her term in 2021. "If stories like these can still be written, the short story form must still be alive, not to say kicking." –The Irish Times
