CAT BRUSHING - JANE CAMPBELL KARTONIERT (TB)

SHORTLISTED FOR THE EDGE HILL SHORT STORY PRIZE'Sensual  spiky  tender and utterly original'
Pandora Sykes'A fierce and fascinating debut' Lily KingI was told of an older woman who was
asked by her granddaughter  'Granny  when was the happiest time of your life?''I don't know '
she replied  'I may not have had it yet.'The stories found in this collection explore the
worlds of thirteen older women  reframing their intellectual and emotional lives in intimate
vignettes that will shock and comfort in equal measure. In elegant prose Jane Campbell ignites
the voices of women who are fighting to live on their own terms  energised by the stuff of
human living: a need for companionship  attachments to love-objects  freedoms  integrity and
sense of self. Cat Brushing confronts the tragic misconceptions of ageing showing older women
to be nothing less than courageous  fearless and defiant in the face of overwhelming odds.
