Vicki Jarrett's novel Nothing Is Heavy was shortlisted for Scottish First Book of the Year.
A debut short story collection by an outstanding new female voice marks the lives of women at the margins, those who live on the edges of relationships, the economy, and society
Mostly set in "chip shops," offices, call centers, and run-down homes, dealing with the fallout from difficult relationships and difficult situations, these stories examine the consequences of being born and raised with little opportunity in a land where youre not much without it. From applying for door-to-door sales jobs, splitting up because the money ran out, scenes at the bingo and at bus stops, on the road and in the mind,this collectionis heart-breaking and full of humor. Jarrett is drawn to the absurdity of everyday life while providing darker insights that counterbalance her natural lightness of touch.
