Description

"Enchanting stories of women's endless bravery, creativity and courage. Each story is a beautiful exploration of the world of women - their strength, their ingenuity, and their diversity.

Cranswick surprises and delights, her stories leave you inspired and encouraged." - Jen Thorpe (author of The Peculiars, The Fall, and editor of My First Time.)

Eighty-five year old Alma tracks a stallion through the wild bush. A young woman leaves her corporate job to start a wine farm as her marriage stales. A mother leaves her war-torn home to seek safety for herself and her daughter and a girl begs for survival.

In a series of ten mesmerizing stories, Cranswick pulls aside the coverts let us in on the lives and inner lives of women thrown out of their comfort zone. With chilling clarity and a haunting lyricism, Cranswick slows down time, zooms in close, and refuses to look away.
