Inscribed by Author to the title page.

Widely published in magazines and anthologised, this is her first short story collection. Sometimes funny, sometimes moving, but always surprising, these are stories about power: children without it and adults vying to get or keep it – the boy caught between divorced parents, the arts worker conman, the avenging wife. By the author of The Birth Machine (1983) and Body Cuts (1988). "A terrific collection – luminous, witty and wise." –Livi Michael
