Ginny spends her days caring for her mother, Emmaline, and her mother-in-law, Babette, both of whom are elderly and ailing. Though she feels guilty about it, Ginny often finds herself slipping into thoughts of her lover—of the way he kisses and touches her—as a momentary escape from the reality of caring for the two dying women whose presence dictates her life.

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.
