They are peopled by courageous, poignant, eccentric individuals who cross borders, accommodate to new cultures and try to establish an identity in a new place. In the process, they encounter different versions of themselves, like reflections in a room of trick mirrors.</p><p>The stories and poems are written by women. They are evocative and multi-layered in their portrayal of relationships, family, ambition, careers and friendship. They offer a fresh, contemporary look at metamorphosis and many catch that fleeting moment of transition between the familiar and the new.</p><p>Foreword by Preti Taneja, author of We That Are Young, winner of the 2018 Desmond Eliot Prize.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><br /> 'A thoroughly modern and lively collection which reaches out across multiple histories and distinctive worlds...some of the best in contemporary British Asian women's writing.'</p><p>Susheila Nasta MBE Editor in Chief of <em>Wasafiri.</em></p><p> </p><p>'a rich collection...with dry humour and poetic verve.'</p><p>Preti Taneja, Winner of the Desmond Elliott Prize 2018.</p><br>
