In \u003ci\u003eLike a House on\n Fire\u003c\/i\u003e, Kennedy once again takes ordinary lives and dissects their\n ironies, injustices and pleasures with her humane eye and wry sense of\n humour. In ‘Laminex and Mirrors’, a young woman working as a\n cleaner in a hospital helps an elderly patient defy doctor’s orders. In\n ‘Cross-Country’, a jilted lover manages to misinterpret her ex’s new\n life. And in ‘Ashes’, a son accompanies his mother on a journey to\n scatter his father’s remains, while lifelong resentments simmer in the\n background. Cate Kennedy’s poignant short stories find the beauty and\n tragedy in illness and mortality, life and love.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cate Kennedy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48287169413371,"sku":"9781922070067","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_84bfb737-58d7-468f-a1f5-20f831c29ac8.jpg?v=1771577428","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/like-a-house-on-fire-9781922070067","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
