Nanoparticles: Allen & Unwin shorts
A beautifully observed short story by Charlotte Wood, author of Animal People.
In Nanoparticles, Lisa cannily observes the people waiting alongside her at the motor registry, from the harried mother of two to the man engrossed in his newspaper. With her characteristically sharp and tender observations, Charlotte Wood examines the smallest things that draw us together and the many larger issues that wrench us apart.
