โฆ Synopsis
When her daughter, Sarah, returns home after a failed relationship, Em must hide the fact that her own heart is broken. As the two women heal, their ages and their distinct personalities influence how much they reveal and how they move on with their lives.
The short story collection Poached Egg On Toast showcases Itani's ability to shine a clear light on what it feels like to be an outsider, displaced and disconnected from the world at hand, and how a single, small moment can cause a seismic shift in our emotional landscape. Wickedly funny and unbearably sad, Itani's stories leave us with a renewed sense of humanity.
