One of the finest shortstorywriters at work today. These stories are honest, finely nuanced and indelible in their impact.WENDY ERSKINEOne of our best short story writers. THE TIMESYoull lose yourself in this collection and, most likely, find yourself too. Each story is a masterclass in attentiveness.JAN CARSONThe muchanticipated new collection from the BBC National Short Story Awardwinning author of Multitudes and Intimacies.I still sometimes wonder if one could draw a window in the wall, or in the air, and step through it together. To somewhere else, entirely new.From a passionate affair in Blitzera 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.It takes a writer as subtle, compassionate and cleareyed as Caldwell to track the hidden forces that work upon us, to illuminate our secret selves. This is prose that liberates.CLAIRE KILROYCaldwell has a glorious skill for creating narratives in which every element works in perfect tandem.SUNDAY TIMES
