Stories with soul. That's what you'll find between these covers of this collection of short stories longlisted in the 2023 Mansfield Readers and Writers short story competition. How do you write to a theme as abstract as 'soul'? Well, these stories reference the theme in ways that continuously inspire and surprise. Truckers on the Nullarbor, anyone? A trip to Paris? Featuring imperfect families and perfect love, this is a great collection to dip into, or devour in a single reading. And soul runs through all of it. Enjoy
