Best known for her biographies of Granuaile, Margaret Burke Sheridan, Prince Ranjitsinhji and Eleanor, Countess of Desmond, Anne Chambers has now turned her considerable talent to short stories for the first time in this collection, called Finding Tom Cruise.

The stories vary in theme, colour character and place. From Key West to Kathmandu, the established author casts her net wide as she delves beneath a range of emotions from rejection and loss to love and courage.

The Journey Home from this collection was short listed for the Hennessy Literary Awards
