What Cassandra saw
9.99 €
Sisters and mothers, housewives and witches, the prophetess Cassandra and the Briton queen Boudicca—in her debut collection of short stories, Gwen Kirby writes about women who often teeter on the brink of nervous breakdown. Each story holds its own surprises: bathroom tiling instructions turn into high tragedy, a restaurant review becomes a reflection on a troubled marriage, and one of the most touching stories revolves around a stuffed kangaroo forgotten in a suitcase. Kirby's bold, funny, and consistently human texts center around women, but her heroines' experiences are universal: they are ready to confront an imperfect, and sometimes downright hostile, world with all the fury and love they can muster.
