Reality, Reality cover

The women of Reality, Reality are mesmerizing, whether in love or in solitude. Full of compassion, generosity, sorrow and joy, their fifteen unforgettable stories explore the power of the imagination to make things real, and celebrate, most of all, those who dare to dream.

‘Jackie Kay’s third collection of short stories ranks among the best’ Guardian
‘Hilarious . . . heartbreaking’ Observer
‘Sheer joy . . . The pleasure that Kay takes in observation, in dipping her imagination into the secrets of the secretive and the songs of the unsung, is infectious’ Scotland on Sunday
‘They glow with a quiet radiance, touched as they are by the warmth of their creator’s heart’ Spectator
‘Invigorating and witty . . . An observer whose eye for human frailty and courage is that of a portraitist who wants to show rather than tell’ Sunday Herald
