    About this ebook

    Women on the Edge is a collection of short stories about women whose lives are plagued by cruelty, deprivation, oppression and violence. Through inhabiting the raw, complex lives of these women we discover the absurdity, the tragedy and the resiliency of the human condition. We also come to recognize that what is often deemed 'madness' is a descent into darkness where unbearable truths are confronted.
