Astray

by Emma Donoghue - £7.99  Pan Macmillan (Picador) (2013)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781447209508 | ISBN 10: 1447209508

With the turn of each page, the characters that roam across these pages go astray. They are emigrants, runaways, drifters; gold miners and counterfeiters, attorneys and slaves. They cross borders of race, law, sex, and sanity. They travel for love or money, under duress or incognito. A sequence of fourteen fact-inspired fictions about travels to, in and from North America, Astray offers a past in scattered pieces, a surprising and moving history for restless times.

"Emma Donoghue writes books that are unlike anything I have ever seen before, and Astray is no exception. There is such a deep and compassionate imagination at work in every story in this collection that Astray feels almost like an act of clairvoyance."
(Ann Patchett, Orange prize-winning author of 'Bel Canto')
