These skillfully crafted stories from prizewinning author Jaki McCarrick are set on the borders - the Irish border where she lives, natural boundaries, and the darker edge of human nature.

A remarkable collection of short stories, this book explores various liminal states: life on the Irish border, dual identities, emigration, being between states, certainty and doubt, codependency, and freedom. Delving into what it means to be alive in a fraught and ever-changing world, these stories examine the dark side of human nature while offering sympathetic yet sharp insight into the aftermath of the Irish cross-border conflict.
