“Frailty, thy name is woman,” said Hamlet and indeed, women, stereotyped as being simple, kind and compassionate, lead multi-layered lives. This collection of short stories draws upon the vulnerabilities of women as well as their strengths and celebrates women’s various shades of grey. The stories, which often end with a twist, will resonate with people of all genders.
