  A beautifully written short story collection that charts the lives of racialized women as they navigate their relationships, aspirations, and the burdens of memory and expectations
  		 
  “Sharply observed and gracefully told, this is a collection shining with all the unexpected delights and defeats that make up a life.” — Anuja Varghese, author of Chrysalis
  		 
  The wife who uses the name of her white husband in public. The mother who cleans the small-town hospital while her daughter moves to the city to forget their shared past. The well-behaved teen girl who anxiously watches her older sister slip further and further away from their hovering parents. Each of these characters is both familiar and singular, reminding us of women we have been, of our mothers and daughters, neighbors and adversaries.
  		 
  Kirti Bhadresa is a keen observer of humanity, especially of the BIPOC women whose domestic and professional work is the backbone of late-stage capitalism but whose lives receive so little attention in mainstream culture. An Astonishment of Stars is a collection that sees those who are unseen and cuts to the heart of contemporary womanhood, community collisions, and relationships both chosen and forced upon us.

  Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
   
  In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
   
  The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
   
  Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
   
  The Emerald Isle is home to literary talent on a grand scale.  And amongst their ranks are women of quite extraordinary ability who refuse to take second place to the men.  Their voice is strong, their words beguiling, entrancing but often with a will of iron as they create works of character, of narrative and of quite sumptuous literature.  Genius has many names.

  "Tara... well, Tara sucks at choosing men. Cheaters, deadbeats, even criminals, Tara just seems to have a magnetic attraction for dysfunctional relationships. That is, until she meets Chris. Will she be able to move past her failures at love to explore something new? Val is a handful. Completely uninterested in anything that even resembles love, she's willing to push away the one person who would do anything for her. Can she come to her senses, and embrace the possibility of forever before it's too late? Kristin already has the perfect marriage. For almost 15 years, her friends have considered her relationship the "blueprint" for lasting love. But the surface is usually a lot more polished than what it covers. When her marriage is put to the test, will it pass? Love and Other Things takes you on a journey with three friends as they navigate betrayal, hurt, demons from the past to find second chances at love."

  The mechanics have a secret hidden deep in the junkyard. I’ll never tell anyone… 
  I’m a private equity investor. I buy struggling companies and gut them. People think I’m evil, but it’s just business. 
  My latest employees refuse to be laid off though. 
  Now I’m chained to a desk in a dark, lonely room. I struggle to remember what life was like before this. I’ve become a pet—a toy for the men I was supposed to fire. 
  They’ve fastened a collar around my neck and named me “Shadow”. They’ve trained me for obedience. With each passing day, it grows harder to remember my past. I’m sinking deep into this new life. 
  I’m loyal now. I’m a good, obedient boy.
