To somewhere else, entirely new.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\\n\r\\nFrom a passionate affair in Blitz-era London, to a highly charged Christmas party in Belfast, 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.\r\\n\r\\n'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.'\r\\nCLAIRE KILROY\r\\n\r\\n'Caldwell has a glorious skill for creating narratives in which every element works in perfect tandem.'\r\\n\u003cem\u003eSUNDAY TIMES\u003c\/em\u003e\r\\n\r\\n'So varied, so subtle, so tonally poised - a stunning collection.'\r\\nTESSA HADLEY\r\\n\r\\n'One of the finest short-storywriters at work today. These stories are honest, finely nuanced and indelible in their impact.'\r\\nWENDY ERSKINE\r\\n\r\\n'You'll lose yourself in this collection and, most likely, find yourself too. Each story is a masterclass in attentiveness.'\r\\nJAN CARSON","brand":"Princeps Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50406201524563,"sku":null,"price":1.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0937\/1346\/5683\/files\/Openings-1.jpg?v=1739654142","url":"https:\/\/www.jaggedlittlequill.com\/products\/signed-first-edition-openings-lucy-caldwell","provider":"Jagged Little Quill","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
