Dust Blowing and Other Stories by Margaret Skea

22 October 2016 By Editor

dust-blowingTwelve stories, spanning four continents and three centuries.

The characters include an aid worker in Afghanistan, a mother in WW1 Germany, a girl who defies the Taliban, a father seeking to support his family in Kenya, an elderly lady facing eviction and a young woman discovering her unknown past.

In this varied collection of stories, the majority of which have won or been placed in international competitions, secrets are uncovered, actions have consequences, moral dilemmas are faced and heart-rending choices made.  Together they provide a mix of despair and determination, sadness and also hope.
