This collection looks closely at definitions of family and asks how this fragile and frightening entity can shape us, nurture us, or even destroy us. These stories also explore friendship as it is enriched by differences in nationality, race, class, and gender. Whether set in Calcutta, Cornwall, Alberta, Edinburgh, or the Coastal Range of California, each story is imbued with a resonant spirit of place. Light is a presence and metaphor in each of these stories, physical light as well as light ranging through human insight and reflection, as characters face the possibilities of forgiveness, acceptance and reunion. \u003cbr\u003e This collection contains stories from the best literary journals, \u003ci\u003eThe Georgia Review\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNew Letters\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSalmagundi\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSouthwest Review,\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003ePrairie Schooner\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as from BBC Radio 4 and \u003ci\u003eMs\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55420726641014,"sku":"9780870137198","price":15.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_33787976.jpg?v=1748529220","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780870137198-abundant-light-short-fiction","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
