A child's imaginary friend, a woman who wants a baby more than anything, the holiday from hell, the friend who tries to help too much - these are all part of the extraordinary make-up of this collection of stories from a wonderful new young writer. With her perceptive eye on urban chic, the neglected women, the fantasist girlfriend, love, desire, passion and revenge, Amanda Coe writes in a sharp, detailed and utterly readable style which picks up every nuance and twist of character and tone. Including terrific stories such as A WHORE IN THE KITCHEN and KISS SOMEONE YOU LOVE, this collection is sure to put the author on the literary map as one of the best new voices in contemporary fiction.
