This, the third collection of stories by Sandra Bunting, is full of the author's distinctive eye for the charm and quirkiness of the everyday, with some tales from the archives of our folk memory and a touch of the supernatural.

In 'Amiante' an offhand decision made in a man's student days has life changing repercussions in later years. 'Malpeque Road' is the story of how girls can disappear, leaving only small hauntings behind. 'Waiting for Valentina' is a historical Gothic tale, while 'Tales from the Shed' brings us right into the heart of the Covid lockdown.

Lost Feathers explores perplexing elements of the natural world and the effects of climate change, themes close to the author's heart.
