Cornish Short Stories: A Collection of Contemporary Cornish Writing Paperback
by Emma Timpany (Editor), Felicity Notley (Editor)

Ghosts walk in the open and infidelities are conducted in plain sight. Two teenagers walk along a perfect beach in anticipation of a first kiss. Time stops for nothing – not even for death. Sometimes time cracks, disrupting a fragile equilibrium. The stories are peopled with locals and incomers, sailors and land dwellers; a diver searches the deep for what she has lost, and forbidden lovers meet in secret places. Throughout, the writers’ words reveal a love of the incomparable Cornish landscape. This bold and striking new anthology showcases Cornwall’s finest contemporary writers, combining established and new voices, including Philipa Aldous, Cathy Galvin, Anastasia Gammon, Tim Hannigan, Clare Howdle, Adrian Markle, Tim Martindale, Candy Neubert, Felicity Notley, Sarah Perry, S. Reid, Alan Robinson, Rob Magnuson Smith, Katherine Stansfield, Emma Staughton, Sarah Thomas, Emma Timpany, Tom Vowler, Elaine Ruth White.
