  Deft and lyrical, this paperback edition of Michel Faber's collection of stories is his first since his auspicious debut, Some Rain Must Fall. It has sealed his reputation as one of Britain's most daring and original authors. Acclaimed for his pitch-perfect prose and brilliant characterisation, Faber is also celebrated for his mastery of contrasting styles. From achingly sad lost lives, through moments of exquisitely distilled happiness, to biblical innocence and savagery, Faber's characters are redeemed, abandoned, beloved and laid bare.

  Deft and lyrical, fearless and human, Faber's new collection contains the finest writing to date from one of Britain's most interesting and important authors. Renowned for his pitch-perfect prose and brilliant characterisation, Faber is also loved for his mastery of wildly different styles. Capitalising on this strength, his new collection flows effortlessly from the biblical innocence and savagery of 'The Fahrenheit Twins', the unforgettable title story, to the unexpected ferocity of a betrayed wife, by way of an international conference on coconuts.
