THE TIMES
'You'll lose yourself in this collection and, most likely, find yourself too. Each story is a masterclass.'
JAN CARSON
I still sometimes wonder if one could draw a window in the wall, or in the air, and step through it together. To somewhere else, entirely new.
From a highly charged Christmas party in Belfast to a passionate affair in Blitz-era London, to a trip to Marrakech which could form a new family, the thirteen striking stories of Openings pulse with possibility and illuminate those fleeting but recognisable moments of heartbreak and hope that can change the course of a life.
'It takes a writer as subtle, compassionate and clear-eyed as Caldwell to track the hidden forces that work upon us, to illuminate our secret selves. This is prose that liberates.'
CLAIRE KILROY
'Caldwell has a glorious skill for creating narratives in which every element works in perfect tandem.'
