Blurb of the book with Cardiff stories
A snowball fight between rival schools, divided by language, melts into a genuine offer of support for a family of newcomers…
A homeless man recalls how he inherited his grandmother’s ability to smell lies, only to tell his biggest fib right in front of her…
An embattled sweetshop owner plots revenge on a mischievous schoolboy – one who might be familiar to us all…
As the stories in this anthology demonstrate, the small but mighty capital of Wales has a lot to boast about: a vibrant independent music scene, an unbreakable community spirit, and a knack for storytelling. But perhaps it’s the city’s sense of defiance that comes closest to defining the ‘Cardiffian’.
Whether in the playgrounds of Splott, the shop-fronts of Llandaff, or the bars of Butetown, we meet streetwise characters who upend our expectations: forgiving those who’ve wronged them, flouting conventions, and offering warmth where none was expected.
Featuring authors: Leonora Brito, Dannie Abse, Deborah Kay Davies, Martha O’Brien, Hanan Issa, Emma Harney, Jon Blake, Declan Andrews, Leo Drayton, John L. Williams, Alistair Reynolds.
