Wish I Was Here

'Jackie Kay's characters sing from the page, each one utterly individual . . .
There is no facile cynicism here; instead, you will find something more humane
. . . a resonance that echoes long after the brief pages have been read, that leaves the reader elated and amazed'
Daily Telegraph

'Kay gives hugely of her talent; pours it onto the page . . .
These stories charm, move and entertain the reader in full-hearted, direct prose. They are full of narrative satisfactions, written with a democratic ear and a poet's poise, with a lyrical twist of phrase that wrings precise emotionsfrom the reader, every time'
