About this listen

WINNER OF THE BBC NATIONAL SHORT STORY AWARD

In my life, I had always been a good woman; controlling what it was that I wanted. But recently, I had started to notice my bad energy, and I began to follow it, wondering where it would take me . . .

A mother has an unexpected outburst at a corporate therapy session for working parents. A couple find some long-overdue time to rekindle their relationship and make an ill-advised home movie. A pregnant film director plots revenge on the actress who betrayed her. A woman deliberately causes conflict at her ex's wedding.

These powerful and funny stories illuminate the lives of untamed women. They explore how society wants women to behave and what happens when they refuse . . .
