Description

Shortlisted for The 2013 Scott PrizeThe characters in this Scott Prize shortlisted debut collection are all a little broken.

Haunted by the past, trapped in the present, and frightened of the future, the world they look out on seems a dark and treacherous place.

But there remains, for each of them perhaps, a glimmer of hope. A daughter returns home to find cracks in more than just her parents' marriage.

A middle-aged man plots to escape the clutches of his controlling mother.

A woman, numbed by grief and desperately clinging to old routines, struggles to make sense of her sudden, terrible loss.

A terminally ill man fights to survive long enough to let go.

The staff and customers of The Teacup cafe witness a meteorological miracle that will change their lives. Daring, intense and poignant, Looking Out of Broken Windows maps an emotional terrain both expansive and intimate and includes stories which were awarded The Yeovil Prize for Fiction and the 2013 Carve Esoteric Award, and shortlisted for both the Salt Short Story Award and The Winchester Writers Conference Short Story Prize.
