Hieroglyphics And Other Stories (häftad, eng)

A beautiful collection - charming, witty and touching - these stories give voice to a variety of different characters: from the little girl who wants to look ''subtle'' for her father''s funeral, a child who has an email pen pal on Jupiter and an old lady who becomes a star through ''zimmerobics''.

Often writing in a vibrant Glaswegian vernacular, Donovan deftly gives her characters authenticity with a searing power, aided and abetted by tender subtlety.
