This is a collection of powerful, entertaining and thought-provoking short stories by some of our finest contemporary writers: Kate Atkinson, Eleanor Bailey, Claire Calman, Mavis Cheek, Candida Clark, Rachel Cusk, Stella Duffy, Helen Dunmore, Esther Freud, Joanne Harris, Maggie O'Farrell, Sarah Parkinson, Justine Picardie, Polly Samson, Rachel Seiffert, Joanna Trollope, Salley Vickers and Jane Yardley. Each of these acclaimed writers has donated an original short story to this exciting anthology. As Cherie Booth says in the foreword to this collection, it is wonderful that so many female authors have united to support the valuable work of Breast Cancer Care. At least GBP1 will be paid to Breast Cancer Care for every book sold.
