"It's another hospital trip in the witching hours for Sylvie, as part of the support crew for her crazy sister, Calamity Cate. An overdose, this time. As usual, it seems like the family is so caught up in all of Cate's drama that Sylvie goes unnoticed. Invisible. Always coming in... second. Not anymore. After a makeover, a friendship breakdown, and a whole lot of pizza, Sylvie starts to get noticed, but by the wrong people. That's when things unravel with painful consequences. Visibility, Sylvie discovers, is not about how other people see you, but how you see yourself"--Publisher's website. First person recount.

"Your history, Artemis, is full of female warriors." Artemis has the name of a goddess, but she has trouble living up to it. Instead she usually just runs away. She's running now ... away from the married man she's been seeing, and the Greek community in New Zealand who think the...y know what's best, and into the arms of family in the Peloponnese that she's never met. She carries her mother's ashes and an ipod with recordings, which bit by bit tell the shocking story of what happened to Artemis' grandmother during the Greek Civil War. Daughters of Messene is a story of a family of women - those who stayed in that broken but beautiful country, one who went to the ends of the earth to escape what she'd seen, and another who returned not knowing what it was she was looking for.

Laing and Airini Beautrais.
Unlike many literary anthologies, over a third of
the work is previously unpublished. Writers with
