A brilliant debut of originality, depth and beauty, Michelle Wright’s Fine features stories that are beautifully drawn portals into complex, layered, sometimes painful worlds.
Fine shines a light into the quiet corners of human life. By observing the traumas, doubts and isolation of its characters, the book reveals the strength and fragility of people and relationships..
The stories explore the silent sorrows, desires and regrets that we choose to hide when we say that we are ‘fine’. As they describe moments big and small in the lives of ordinary people, they invite us to think about who we are when no one is looking.
By illuminating these quiet moments in ordinary lives, Wright follows in a tradition which includes Olga Masters, Amy Witting and Alice Munro.
