English Summary/英文概要： The much-anticipated new collection of short stories from the winner of the 2010 BBC National Short Story Award
• Features award-winning story ‘Tea at the Midland’, as broadcast on Radio Four.
• Widely regarded as one of the greatest living exponents of the short story. Described by The Reader magazine as ‘Perhaps the finest of contemporary writers in this form.’
• Feature film adaptation of previous Constantine story, ‘In Another Country’ goes into production Spring 2012 (directed by Andrew Haigh, due out 2013).
