White Spirits

Traumatised by a cot death a woman appreciates the isolation of lockdown;

A father who walked out on his family returns for his daughter’s wedding;

A ‘trophy wife’ must decide how to deal with the hostility of her stepson;

A loner who was bullied in school develops a sinister online identity;

Teenagers resolve to take action against a local refugee centre.

In this latest collection of short fiction ‒ by turns edgy and darkly humorous ‒ award-winning author David Butler examines the many aspects of what it means to be Irish in a world where personal identity is increasingly under pressure.
