Tales of Disenchantment - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

We like to think we know what’s going to happen next. That’s part of the charm of fairytales. The Wolf’s always bad. Princesses are pure. Wishes eventually come true.But suppose that all changed and we found ourselves lost in a tale of darkest forests, not knowing what was hiding round the corner, all alone. And with no Fairy Godmother. These stories will stop you in your tracks. They’ll unsettle your preconceptions about our society and make you wonder what’s really happening. They’ll make you look twice at the place where you thought the monsters were.Sue Miller writes stories about the people, attitudes and beliefs we encounter every day and may rarely question. She makes us look again, dive beneath the surface and discover the surprises lurking in the shadows. A book that will challenge you to see what we all take for granted in a new way. The stories are designed to start conversations about a whole range of topics that matter for our communities: fairness, entitlement, abuse of power, parenting, homelessness, climate change, social media, well being. They are relevant for us all and ideal to read yourself or for introducing discussions with friends, family, students or neighbours about the different priorities that exist across our society. They're a timely reminder that real life isn't a fairy tale.
