One of the best short story collections I've read! As someone who grew up in East Belfast I thought that each story was so keenly observed and felt very Belfast. Wendy Erskine managed to capture an air of tension through many of the stories in this collection, whilst also often showcasing the humour that reminds me of home. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for their next collection of short stories to dig into.
