Synopsis

Carol Ann Duffy's third collection takes us to 'the other country' - the places that we visit in fantasy, memory and imagination. 'What is admirable about Duffy', commented Robert Nye in The Times , 'is that she celebrates such places without sentimentalizing them, and wrings the last drop of meaning from each visit'.
