About This Book

A collection of seventeen short stories that sketch compact portraits of people in remote and domestic settings, each built around a moral dilemma or sudden revelation. The narratives move between ironic sketches, intimate domestic scenes, and terse episodes of suspense, probing themes of pride, mercy, vengeance, sacrifice, and the limits of authority. Repeatedly the tales examine how small, impulsive acts ripple outward, producing unforeseen consequences and exposing human fallibility amid cultural contact and rugged surroundings.
