Thirteen glittering and darkly funny stories of women testing boundaries, from two-time Scotiabank Giller Prize finalist Alix Ohlin. Alix Ohlin delivers a masterclass in the short story with We Want What We Want, populated by bad parents, burned potential, and inescapable old flames. In the mordantly funny "Money, Geography, Youth," Vanessa arrives home after volunteering in Ghana, only to discover that her father is engaged to her childhood best friend.
