A collection of published and unpublished short storties by emergent and established authors. SKEINS is a yarn-telling, truth-spinning celebration of women who tell stories and weave tales like threads. In SKEINS you will find beautiful, thought-provoking stories which explore themes that are relevant to women’s lives; loving and love-less relationships, birth and childhood, aging and death, connections with nature and magic, difficult family dynamics and humour. Through the stories walk complex characters with recognisable emotions. There are tales within tales and a yarn here for everyone.
