All Shall Be Well

Bringing together an absorbing collection of writing by Welsh women, the stories within have been taken from the fiction and nonfiction anthologies published by Honno Press over the last 25 years. Fiction writers such as Patricia Duncker, Sian James, Sarah Jackman, and Jo Mazelis contribute tales of tangled relationships, discovery, loss, and love, and are told with wit and compassion. The nonfiction ranges from the horror of Belsen through the eyes of a Welsh nurse, to the swinging ’60s with Molly Parkin. Many of the pieces respond to the changes that have taken place in women’s social and political experiences in Wales and this thrilling range of work maps an undoubted realignment of emphasis in what women choose to write about.
