Author(s): Sue McCauley

NZ Fiction

These 21 stories range from the very short to the long and meaty. They are about New Zealanders, and they are about love, in all its complexity and permutations. They are funny, they are sad, they are thought-provoking, and, above all, they are examples of the very best writing this country has to offer. Author of 4 novels and one earlier collection of short stories, Sue McCauley has won the Wattie Book Award and the New Zealand Book Awards. Her last publication, It Could Be You, also a collection of short stories, was shortlisted for the Montana Book Awards. These days she works mostly as a tutor of writing, an editor and script adviser. She also writes for TV and has recently had a play performed, Hitting 50.
