Fiona,

In this dazzling collection of short stories,Fiona Cooper turns her witty gaze on a kaleidoscopic mix of characters. here are wronged lovers and passionate dreamers; dole-queue heroes and French Resistance heroines; children taking faltering steps in a chaotic world and waltzing grannies; religious fanatics, true believers, painters and penguins.

Interspersed with the joyously whimsicle are tales that turn a searchlight on our deepest hopes and our darkest fears. Wry and ironic, this is nevertheless a celebration of love from a writer very frimly on the side of the angels.

"Hello and welcome to my book (and now yours). Thank you for your interest in my thoughts, my words of wisdom, and my recipe for French toast. Throughout the year it took me to write this, I wrote in solitude, recording my thoughts as they came to me, digging up old memories, pouring out my heart and soul. Then, at the end of the process, I hoped and prayed to God that there were a few people out there who would enjoy it." - Ellen Degeneres.

Sky,

Stories.

The protagonists in this brilliantly quirky collection include bellydancers, bag ladies, lesbians, and sojourners from distant times. Bellydancing was originally performed at the bedside of women in labour, as an erotic dance of creation.

In these provocative stories "bellydancer" is an archetypal survivor, a dancer through trance and dream. Interweaving whimsical stories of enchantment with macabre plots, Lee flaunts the illicit and mocks the market demand for the exotic. With her distinctive blend of humour and melodrama, she spins allegorical tales and stories for sheer entertainment.

Lesbian Feminist Fiction

Tales full of humour, high spirits, social comment, pathos and metaphor made flesh.

The landscape changes as you move from one story to the next: medieval Britain, 19th century Jamaica, contemporary southern France, dyke bars in London and the States, respectable Dalesford-on-Sea, a 'Silburian' conference in Vancouver.

These stories by lesbian feminist novelists, poets and play wrights rework classic themes and give us fresh departures: the teenage fag hag, blacklesbian myth and reality, the historical passing woman and, of course, coming out and falling in love.

An Anthology whose hallmark is surprise and revelation.
