Details
The selected stories of one of Wales’s leading writers, Outside Paradise is a testament to women of all ages. Sometimes bright and uplifting, sometimes dark and moving, Siân James’s work celebrates life. Her characters are not impossibly virtuous or improbably depraved. They are real women dealing with whatever life throws at them, whether stranded on a mountaintop or caught shoplifting. Every story is intriguing, intense and touching.
‘There is an unexpected, elusive emotional truth which she has understood, and she has the talent and kindness to lay it bare.’ - The Sunday Times
Female voices ring through Siân James’s work. These are stories told by mothers, daughters, sisters, wives. From Gwynedd to Brynawel, her vividly painted characters tell us about their lives:
Good sex and bad sex, love and hate, friendship and enmity, birth and death.
