Wish I Was Here

Wish I Was Here
Jackie Kay
Tales of passion and jealousy, lust and romance.
This fierce, funny, and compassionate collection explores every facet of that most overwhelming and complicated of human emotions: love. With winning directness, Jackie Kay captures her characters’ greatest joy and greatest vulnerability, exposing the moments of tenderness, of shock, of bravery, and
of stupidity that accompany the search for love, the discovery of love and, most of all, love’s loss. “So immediately engaging that it reads as though she is speaking to you at a bus stop. ”—Irish Times

Jackie Kay was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1961 and grew up in Glasgow, Scotland. Her first novel Trumpet won the Author’s Club First Novel Award and the Guardian Fiction Prize. Jackie lives in Manchester, England with her son.
