Jon McGregor, New Statesman Set in the author's native Belfast, the ten stories in Sweet Home lay bare the heartbreak and quiet tragedies that run under the surface of everyday lives. A lonely woman is fascinated by her niqab-wearing neighbours; a middle-aged teacher becomes obsessed with a young Gaelic football player; and an employer covers for his two employees caught having sex in a public toilet. Wendy Erskine offers perfectly formed, brilliantly observed portraits of people trying to carve out a life for themselves, all the while being buffeted by the loss, grief and regret that come their way. Warm, compassionate and funny, Sweet Home captures life in contemporary East Belfast, in all of its forms. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Short stories, Irish|y21st century. 651 0 Belfast (Northern Ireland)|xSocial life and customs |vFiction. 700 1 Erskine, Wendy. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 15012021?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ mcu_9781529017090_180.jpeg
