'Jan Carson is a born storyteller' Lisa McInerney
A floating six-year-old tethered to the backyard fence; two siblings watching their parents argue inside a greenhouse; a human statue who's lost the ability to move; a support group for the haunted: the characters in Children's Children are all falling apart in their own peculiar ways.
Told in Jan Carson's distinctive voice, her debut short story collection contains absurdist, darkly humorous and heartbreaking stories which explore the concept of legacy, and the impact of one generation upon the next.
