The debut collection of stories from the author of Foster and Small Things Like These.

The stunning debut story collection from the author of Foster and the Booker Prize shortlised Small Things Like These.

'A beautiful, tender work of great clarity.' - Sebastian Barry
'Among the finest contemporary stories written recently in English.' - Observer

A secret one-night tryst in the city. A sister's revenge. A love-struck doctor. A missing girl. In Antarctica, an astonishing sequence of stories, one of our most gifted writers illuminates human longing and fallibility in all its variety.
