A lovely little collection of Short Stories About Mothers And Fathers featuring new writing, photography and visual art hooked on a unifying theme. This double-sided, mini-magazine (the front half focusing on stories of mothers, the back being fathers) contains a range of perspectives and styles of writing from brash and comedic to incredibly moving. It’s interesting to sense the subtle shift of tone when flicking between the ‘Mother’ and ‘Father’ short stories whilst feeling the familiarity throughout of a theme we can all relate to.
‘As well as interviews with Father Christmas and a parish priest, the collection offers an insight into how devastating it is to lose premature twins, how one father tried and failed to teach his kids a valuable life lesson about money and how another taught his child to mimic management consultants.’
