Hieroglyphics and Other Stories — Anne Donovan
“Spellbinding stories of childhood and change in voices so vibrant they leave you speechless.” -- Sunday Herald
From a little girl who wants to look “subtle” for her father's funeral, to a child who has an email pen pal on Jupiter, to an old lady who becomes a star through “zimmerobics,” these witty, tender short stories introduce us to a unique cast of characters in a collection centered around the Scottish city of Glasgow.
From the author of Being Emily and Buddha Da, which was shortlisted for the Whitbread and Orange Prizes, Hieroglyphics and Other Stories is an “excellent debut collection” (Daily Telegraph).
