Coming Up Roses

'Imagine that you're a statistic,' says one of the characters in these quirky, haunting stories of people whose inner lives let them escape the boxes that others put them into.
The single mum, student working in a pie factory, newborn baby, dying woman, Kiwi alone in New York, and others pass through these quirky, haunting pieces. Sarah Laing won the 2006 Sunday Star-Times Short Story Award. “The writing is excellent... a nicely balanced and nuanced collection” — Radio NZ National.
