  A wife constructs a devilishly elaborate plan to exact revenge on her husband?s mistress, and ultimately falls victim to her own cunning. A girl whose career choice is to be a mermaid sheds her unfulfilled existence and experiences a bizarre transformation. A female student endures a series of doomed relationships and jobs to finally overturn gender stereotypes and come out on top. A house in Sussex which was once home to Virginia and Leonard Woolf is the inspiration behind this collection of stories by women. The spirit of Asham House lives on with exciting new short stories by new writers and established names. Representing the best in fresh fiction, Re-shape Whilst Damp, brings together the hottest new fiction from across the country and publishes them alongside specially commissioned stories by Elspeth Barker, Helen Dunmore, Michele Roberts and Barbara Trapido.
