'Sparkling collection...the perfect antidote to the usual festive fare' WHAT'S ON 'Will bring a conspiratorial smile to those whose Christmases are nothing short of a disaster' PUNCH.CO.UK 'You will find everything that is both magical and miserable about Christmas in these extracts from some of the best women writers of the past 200 years' MAIL ON SUNDAY 'will make you cackle wickedly' EXPRESS
Christmas began with a good but harassed woman giving birth in difficult domestic circumstances. Somewhere between then and now, the circumstances have changed, but for women today, Christmas is still a time of joys garnered against the odds. We have moved on from stables and mangers to supermarkets and microwaves; palm fronds and shepherds have given way to a spangled conifer and a fat man in a red suit. In this anthology, reflecting the experiences of more than 50 women at Christmas, Ntozake Shange and Agatha Christie rub shoulders with Emily Dickinson and Virginia Woolf. Curl up with a tantalizing volume that gives full reign to the seditious humor, peculiar discomforts, and exquisite social tortures of the season.
