The Lost of Syros Emma Timpany

In The Lost of Syros, a debut collection of stories by Emma Timpany, revelations come unexpectedly: in a shower of gold on a snow-covered volcano in Antarctica; at a graffiti-scarred Aboriginal sacred site; in a mouthful of cake. Precise and delicately written, these stories are little windows into life. The cover image is from an original painting by Adam Drouet. Emma Timpany was born and grew up in Dunedin, New Zealand. Her stories have won awards including The Sara Park Memorial Short Story Award 2013, The Society of Authors' Tom-Gallon Trust Award 2011 and The Society of Women Writers and Journalists' Short Story Award 2011. A pamphlet of her stories, Over The Dam, was published by Red Squirrel Press in April 2015. She currently lives in Cornwall. www.emmatimpany.wordpress.com
