Charlotte’s life is in disarray after her fifteen-year-old daughter moves in with her deadbeat, squatter boyfriend. Charlotte’s husband stops going to work, and instead spends his days watching the Iran-Contra hearings; the police can do little to bring their daughter home; and Charlotte always seems to be a step behind her family, never quite understanding what they are telling her.

Fever is a collection of sixteen short stories that reveal the secret inner lives of women and men, skilfully peeling back their defenses to expose crystallizing moments of joy, pain, fear, and guiltless pleasure. Sharon Butala infuses Fever with an intensity of emotion that often catches readers off guard, making for a reading experience that is always honest and powerful.
