From one of the most accomplished British writers working today, the Man Booker Prize-shortlisted author of The Wolf Border, comes a unique and arresting collection of short fiction that is both disturbing and dazzling.

Sarah Hall has been hailed as one of the most significant and exciting of Britain's young novelists (The Guardian), a writer whose intelligence and ambition are thrilling to behold (BookForum). Her work has been acclaimed as amazing . . . terrific and original (Washington Post). In this collection of nine works of short fiction, she uses her piercing insight to plumb the depth of the female experience and the human soul.

A husband's wife transforms into a vulpine in Mrs. Fox, winner of the BBC Short Story Prize. In Case Study 2, A social worker struggles with a foster child raised in a commune. A new mother runs into an old lover in Luxury Hour. In incandescent prose, full of rich observations and striking clarity, Hall has composed nine wholly original pieces--works of fiction that will resonate long after the final word is heard.

Sarah Hall was born in Cumbria in 1974. She is the prizewinning author of five novels-Haweswater, The Electric Michelangelo, Daughters of the North, How to Paint a Dead Man, and The Wolf Border-as well as of The Beautiful Indifference, a collection of short stories that won the Portico Prize and the Edge Hill Short Story Prize. The first story in the collection, Butcher's Perfume, was also short-listed for the BBC National Short Story Award-a prize Hall won in 2013 with Mrs. Fox.
