"These stories transport us to a myriad of places, and whether we find ourselves in the heat and dust of the Outback, in suburban Britain or Mexico City, Fells’ fictional worlds always feel real." - Amanda Huggins

The dying Miss Bethan asks Sofia to do a terrible thing. Something a mother should never ask. THE NAMING OF MOTHS features stories of magical realism, myths and legends re-imagined, where all the characters are undergoing transformation or facing a pivotal moment of change in their lives. People and animals interchange their shapes. Story landscapes flit from fairy-tale woods to urban homes. Here love, hope and kindness weave between the realities of man's endless talent for cruelty.
