A woman hacks at a tree while her daughter chases her targets deep into the bush. A visitor walks up the path towards razor-topped gates. A man drives his nameless passenger towards a fractured city.

I am dazzled by this book. It is laden with detail, and this enhances each story. It grounds them in place, but doesn't take anything away from their universality. If you have any doubt about short stories - or the power and vigour of New Zealand writing - this could be the book to convince you.
