Cardiff Calling

Cinnamon Press presents two new titles to kick start your summer reading. Kate North’s debut novel doesn’t fit easily with set ideas of literary genre. Through letters, text messages, journal entries, poetry and journalism, Eva Shell tells the story of two Cardiff sisters, exploring contemporary themes along the way. Angela Morgan Cutler says: “Eva Shell is kaleidoscopic. It is a book that explores new narrative possibilities for the novel… keeping you eager to turn the page”.
Holly Howitt’s collection of micro fiction Dinner Time. One of the stories, "Dinner Time", is a sequence describing, powerfully, the extremities of lust, longing and cruelty between a man and a woman.
