From futuristic colonies to drab estates, SJ Bradley's inventive stories showcase remarkable range. With lyrical prose and psychological depth, Bradley illuminates the quiet heroism pulsing through seemingly ordinary lives. Beleaguered, yet resourceful social workers battle towering workloads; a harassed elderly childminder collapses under the strain; a victim of domestic abuse strikes out for freedom and disgruntled workers in dead-end jobs dream of a brighter future.
These vividly rendered tales trace hard-won solace through small acts of courage, exploring grief, ambition, and belonging. Gritty yet tender, Maps of Imaginary Towns celebrates the resilience of the human spirit.
