It is said that shame dies when stories are told in safe places. The Girl coith the Pridley Dupatta and other stories forges within its pages the sanctity and dignity that allow fragile stories to become powerful purposeful, healing and exhilarating epics of personal courage and enterprise. Many of the stories within this book are from outside the bell curve of our lives. From the brutal vigilante justice perpetrated in the name of religion in The Gols of Fury, to the harrowing custom of revenge rape in The Sins of our fathers: to the patriarchal ruthlessness that so many young women are subjected to in The Girl coith the Paisley Dupatta, to the deep seated fear and also the heroic endurance and optimism of our minority communities in Ensiace Shergill, these stories come straight from the truth telling corners of the heart. Others are stories of women and men negotiating life, love, friendship and tradition in the sometimes tumultuous and oftentimes limiting folds of their families and their communities The last three stories are a tribute to that most ingenious art form. Political Satire These tales will make you laugh, cry and ruminate in equal measure while constantly niggling at the peripheries of conventional value systems.
