Gather Gold and Other Stories Barrie Llewelyn

Women who should know better, but don't. Characters who occupy both urban America and rural Wales - sometimes at the same time.

Mothers and daughters; husbands and lovers - these are some of the tensions and fusions explored in this surprising collection by Barrie Llewelyn, a writer who is interested in the way each authentic voice can be startling and, sometimes, disturbing.

"Moving and powerful. Llewelyn writes with a quiet elegance reminiscent of the best of Amy Hempel or Raymond Carver. Sublime." Mike Thomas

"Tightly crafted with an immediate and intriguing voice, which is no mean feat given the range of narrators used. Intensely relevant, thought-provoking and engaging!" Tom Anderson

"The stories are beautifully observed; they stay with the reader for a long time afterwards." Emma Darwin
