Not the End of the World
This is Kate Atkinson's first collection of stories, and consists of twelve linked stories which form a thematic whole. Inspired by Ovid's "Metamorphoses", and by Prada, Mary Poppins, Moschino and Barbie, they are full of the poignancy of abandoned children and lonely adults.
