She is a 'guerilla knitter' who by the end of the story is beginning to warm to her circumstances, the people around her, and, most importantly, herself. The second prize-winning story Laps, by Sally Naylor-Hampson, is focused on the ocean and adolescent sexual experience, at Belongil, seventeen years earlier. In this case between an older woman, the wife of the swimming coach, and a fifteen-year old boy, Jasper. The South West Prize winning story by Vahri McKenzie, I Shine, Not Burn, is about family and family history. The underlying issue is the extent to which knowledge of the past may be destructive to following generations. This is a collection of tightly written, graceful stories exploring the familiar and the strange by both emerging and established writers.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44215558799579,"sku":"9780987218087-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/products\/9780987218087.jpg?v=1692012630","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780987218087-secondhand-knitting-and-other-stories-margaret-river-short-story-competition-2013","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
