Description

A powerful collection of stories exploring love and longing from the award-winning author of This Mortal Boy.

Two mothers fight over who will wear a hat on their children's wedding day. A needle is lost somewhere inside a woman's body. A writer waits with a suitcase for a man who never comes. This collection brings together Fiona Kidman's finest and most scandalous stories, vividly depicting the joys of female desire and the pain of heartbreak, the thrill of illicit liaisons and the twists and turns of unconventional love. Sometimes joyful, often devastating and always beautiful, All the Way to Summer is a searing account of love and loss from a pioneering feminist icon.
'Tales of loss and betrayal and twisted love abound in this perfect collection' Liz Nugent, author of Strange Sally Diamond
