| correct me if i'm wrong but i think the author has compiled fragments of other stories by different authors into this piece.. hereby trying to indicate what she understands when it comes to terms like 'unrequited, deviant, disappointment,'.. good idea but i would have liked it more if she had used her own works and words to make her point.. - xtra dog - Dec-01-2011 |

| Nia is the manager of Fire and Ice, a bar in the centre of Manchester, England, and is finding the shady undercurrents that come with her job a little too much to handle. Into her life walks Jake, a dark, imposing figure who seems to promise her the protection she needs, and perhaps a great deal more. But Nia is to find out that things aren't always the way they appear. | |
| Interesting story with very likeable characters. Liked watching them work out their wounds of past relationships and some of their own biases on butch-femme stereotypes. - Anonymous - Sep 3rd, 2003 The link is broken. - Vale - Aug-16-2009 The link is broken. - Vale - Aug-16-2009 Sounds interesting... link is broken so cant find out if it is or not.

| This dark story was inspired by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: more directly, by one of the first reports from the refugee camp at Jenin. It seems rather presumptuous for a white, Western writer to tackle this subject; all I can say in my defence is that I do not claim to have produced a 'true' representation, and neither am I making a political statement. The views and experiences expressed are all imagined on behalf of the characters. I would encourage you to read this piece as a Western woman's interpretation of the refugee experience. | |
