Description

The South Westerlies is a collection of short stories that explore the complexities of place and its impact on the lives of fictional characters. Set in Gower, the UK's first designated area of outstanding natural beauty, the stories are unified by the tone of the prevalent south-westerly wind that blows across the peninsula.

Through her writing, Jane Fraser offers a nuanced portrayal of a much-vaunted tourism destination, one that is both beautiful and flawed. By examining the downsides of this popular destination, she sheds light on the human experiences that often get overlooked in favour of its natural beauty.

This thought-provoking collection invites readers to consider the ways in which place shapes our lives, and the stories we tell about ourselves and others.
