In The Lost of Syros, a debut collection of stories by Emma Timpany, revelations come unexpectedly: in a shower of gold on a snow-covered volcano in Antarctica; at a graffiti-scarred Aboriginal sacred site; in a mouthful of cake. Precise and delicately written, these stories are little windows into life. The cover image is from an original painting by Adam Drouet. Emma Timpany was born and grew up in Dunedin, New Zealand. Her stories have won awards including The Sara Park Memorial Short Story Award 2013, The Society of Authors' Tom-Gallon Trust Award 2011 and The Society of Women Writers and Journalists' Short Story Award 2011. A pamphlet of her stories, Over The Dam, was published by Red Squirrel Press in April 2015. She currently lives in Cornwall. www.emmatimpany.wordpress.com

<p>Review\n"A tour de force of imagery and emotion." —Clio Gray, author, The Anatomist's Dream\n"Is this a story about love? In part it is: love and the absence of love. The love that should be there but isn't, the love you go in quest of and the love that travels with you, half-unnoticed." —Felicity Notley, co-editor, Cornish Short Stories\n"This is a clever, sensitive and deserving book. The journey leaves us, not with the expected finish but, instead, a master stroke." —Candy Neubert, poet\n"I have travelled to a place that you cannot buy a ticket to; there is no train that goes there, no boat, no plane; there is no map that you can follow to find it; there is no road. It lies on the other side of that circle of light."\nSarah is traveling with her young son back to her home town in the south of New Zealand. But when debris from an earthquake closes the road before her, she is forced to extend her journey and divert through the places from her youth that she had hoped never to return to. As the memories of her childhood resurface, Sarah knows that for the sake of her son, she must face up to them now or be lost forever.</p>
