She Writes-ebook : Love, spaghetti and other stories by youngish women
She Writes is an anthology that features women writers in Canada.
Elizabeth Ruth, Heather Birrell, Kristen den Hartog, Kelly Watt, Dana Bath, Teresa McWhirter and others make up this brilliant new collection of emerging literary voices in the landscape of Canadian literature by women.
In “Polish” Elizabeth Ruth deftly portrays the clash between mother and daughter, tradition and innovation. Ruth is shortlisted for both the 2001 Roger’s Writer’s Trust of Canada Fiction Prize and the Amazon.com/Chapters/Books in Canada First Novel Award 2001. Another rising star, Suzanne Matczuk (winner of the John Hirsch Award for Most Promising Manitoba Writer 2002) weaves an intriguing tale of sisters and lies in a small Hungarian village in “Book of Lies.” These are just a couple of the provocative, engaging and often humorous pieces of short fiction by young women writers that make up this collection.
Praise & Recognition
"She writes is a first-rate smorgasbord of high quality writing... As with all thematic volumes, there are more differences than similarities here—and that really makes this collection worth reading."
Herizons"The summer-camp antics and first love in Heather Birrell's Congratulations, Really, hit home with note-perfect retrospective coming-of-age clarity, and the old-timey romance of Crickets, by Natalee Caple, resonates within the frame of a mother's letter to a daughter longing to connect with her roots."
Now Toronto"This book is almost a study in the diversity of contemporary Canadian short fiction."
Broken Pencil"Editor Carolyn Foster presents both a sampling of new writing by 10 Canadian women, and a glimpse into the varied and complicated worlds they face post-Atwood, Munro and Laurence."
