Beschreibung:
The stories shortlisted for the 2019 BBC National Short Story Award with Cambridge University variously explore the sanctity of the home and family, and the instinct to defend what's closest to us. Against a backdrop of danger or division, characters sometimes struggle - like the 15-year-old charged with looking after her siblings whilst her mother works through the night - and sometimes succumb - like the young woman who allows herself to be manipulated by an older, richer man. But in each case, these stories demonstrate what Nikki Bedi argues in her introduction: short stories are not a warm-up act, they're the main event.
