The Sand Eggs is a seductive collection about isolation and alienation, and the fraught languages of silence. 

​

Folklore, tales within tales within tales, the inexpressible and the humanity we share between cultures and the ages incubate in Doran’s lyrical prose. These ten short stories hatch one after the other, bringing life and death to stark, poignant moments, in which Doran delicately sketches out for us what can be exquisite and yet unbearable about being human.
