In her second collection of short fiction, Shahbano Alvi extends her range to examine the lives of migrants, expatriates and transients in Edinburgh, Oxford, London and elsewhere. Her descriptive talent is matched by her unflinching gaze at the mishaps, misunderstandings and small triumphs of everyday lives. Within the few pages of a single story, perspectives flit from the beach of Brighton to the seaside in Chittagong, from a London neighbourhood to a Karachi garden. Some of her stories are long, psychologically complex and intricately structured; other lyrical pieces merely span a page. Some stories are harshly realistic; others have a touch of the mysterious and otherworldly. Regardless of their length or settings, all these stories explore the dilemmas of our time: dispossession and alienation at home or abroad, betrayal and broken relationships, loss, bereavement, and - always - the enduring courage of the human spirit.
