Interesting anthology with works by definitely talented writers. I enjoyed reading almost all of these pieces.
But I preferred the actual stories over excerpts from novels.
My favourites were:
The Cloud Factory by Graeme Armstrong
Doubtful Sound by Eleanor Catton
Theories of Care by Sophie Mackintosh
Circles by Anna Metcalfe
Kweku by Derek Owuso
Rostrum by Eley William's.

“I know what it meant, she said. It was exhausting to love her. That is why you can’t keep love, or it can’t keep you.”
A fantastic collection of short stories from Granta’s Best of British Novelists issue. I really enjoyed the range, and read this issue cover to cover - something of an exception, as I usually skim.
