      About This Book

      Eilis Ni Dhuibhne is generally considered to be one of Ireland's finest practitioners of the short story. This book brings together nine of her best stories from her first two collections, "Blood and Water" and "Eating Women is Not Recommended," as well as three brand-new stories. Ranging from the ultra realistic "Some Hours in the Life of a Witch," to the surreal fantasy world of "Fulfillment" and "The Wife of Bath," the stories describe ordinary and not so ordinary life, and the lives of women in particular, in the feminist and post-feminist eras in Ireland.
