Bought for £2 in a charity shop in the UK in June 08. I really liked the last helen Dunmore book I read (house of orphans) which I made into a ring. Hoping for good things for this one too though it is a collection of short stories which isn't my favourite genre.

Synopsis
In this collection of short stories, the author takes the reader into a sensuous world of endless winters and midnight sun. As far apart as Finland, the Austrian Tyrol, and upstate New York, these stories come alive to the touch of estrangement, misunderstanding, sexuality and loss.

Winner of the Orange Prize (I think -though I am not sure -that this refers to her as an author, for her book A spell of winterrather than this collection. Still I might throw it into my winners book bag because the very first book is set in Finland and talks of Panda licorice!
