'As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the
whole world' Virginia Woolf

Asham House in
Sussex was once home to Virginia and Leonard Woolf and is the
inspiration behind the Asham Award. Launched in 1996 to support and
encourage new writers, it is Britain's only prize for short stories by
women.
Waving at the Gardener
presents the twelve fresh, engaging and original voices shortlisted for
the Asham Short-Story Award 2009, as well as four specially commissioned
new stories by beloved authors Margaret Atwood, Esther Freud, Alison
MacLeod and Yiyun Li.
