Hometown Tales: South Coast

Original tales by remarkable writersHometown Tales is a series of books pairing exciting new voices with some of the most talented and important writers at work today. Some of the tales are fiction and some are narrative non-fiction – they are all powerful, fascinating and moving, and aim to celebrate regional diversity and explore the meaning of home. In these pages on the South Coast, you`ll find two unique tales. `Margate Calling` is an intimate, honest and inspiring account of living in Margate by award-winning BBC broadcaster Gemma Cairney. `Maisie and Mrs Webster` is a bold, fiercely funny and deeply moving piece of fiction about an obese young woman who is confined to her bed and longs to see the sea, by Brighton-based playwright Judy Upton.
