In a literary collection unlike any other, Thistledown Press brings together short fiction by women and about women. Readers interested in women’s perspectives will be drawn in by unique takes on the female experience provided in these ten short stories by Canadian women writers. Fiercely independent career women, sisters who butt heads, children who discover the complexities of adult life for the first time, and dreamers in search of meaning are all present in this newly compiled collection featuring writers such as Harriet Richards, Kate Sutherland, and Darcie Friesen Hossack. Coffee shop reading has never been more captivating than in this compendium of tales about the “fairer sex”.
