From a young girl's improper visit to an adult neighbour to a family's relief at the lifting of sex abuse charges, from a fasting Christmas Dinner guest to a messy stumble with an urn of ashes, these stories effortlessly mix the menacing and the comic, and handle real-life situations with warmth and subtlety. Relief introduces an astonishingly mature and confident new voice in New Zealand fiction.
