Overview

Speaking in the voices of a broad cast of characters, from a retiree who has left her husband five times, to a carpenter in his thirties, to a seven-year-old child making his First Communion, Speak moves smoothly between male and female protagonists. These fourteen stories pulse with the pain and glory of desire, loss and rebirth. They tremble and sing with searing dialogue and outrageous humour. A rich and astonishing trove for the brave reader.
