Description

Touchy Subjects is about things that make people wince: taboos, controversies, secrets and lies. Some of the events that characters crash into are grand, tragic ones: miscarriage, overdose, missing persons. Other topics, like religion and money, are not inherently taboo, but they can cause acute discomfort because people disagree so vehemently. These stories are about the spectrum of feeling that runs from awkwardness through embarrassment to shame.

She can dissect a relationship with great precision… Delightful’ THE TIMES ‘Donoghue is one of those rare writers who seems to be able to work on any register, any tone, any atmosphere, and make it her own… It’s hard to outline the cleverness of these stories without giving away the twists… They are as funny as they are moving.’ OBSERVER"
