An outstanding anthology of twenty-five short stories an d non-fiction pieces selected to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of Honno, Welsh Women's Press. They have been chosen from the many anthologies published by Honno since its beginnings in 1987. Together they reveal a wonderful depth of story-telling and give a window onto the lives, experiences and creativity of Welsh women writers. The stories take us into other worlds — the secret life of a lonely cleaner; young girls making perfume on a summer's day; French lovers desperate to escape their mother, a holiday in the Med where perfect skin is not the only answer. The non fiction ranges from the horrors of Belsen, as seen at first hand by a Welsh nurse, to remote Bardsey Island, from the swinging sixties to the trials of a mother seeking a career in the clergy. Classic Welsh authors Brenda Chamberlain and Bertha Thomas also appear to complete a line up which should fascinate and entertain well beyond the next quarter of a century.
