Ceithre splancscéal is tríocha atá sa chnuasach seo, iad go léir faoi bhun 1,000 focal. Pléann siad le réimse mór téamaí i saol na mban, idir chumha is ghrá, idir uaigneas is dóchas. Insintí géara gonta, go bhfuil tús, lár agus deireadh leo – cé gur minic go dtosaíonn siad i lár baill nó go gcríochnaíonn siad go luath. Tá an leabhar seo ag cur thar maoil le carachtair bháúla, agus
splanc léargais nua á fháil acu ar an saol.
*****
This collection comprises of thirty four flash fiction stories, all of them under 1,000 words. They look at a wide range of themes in women’s lives, from sadness to love, from loneliness to hope. They are short snappy tales that have a beginning, a middle and an end – although they often start in the middle of the action or finish early. This book is overflowing with empathetic characters, as they get a flash of new insight into life.
