You can't know what sort of parent you'll be until it happens. That's what Marie told Mona and Adam when she recovered from the shock of the revelation. Parenthood is as much of an unknown as the afterlife, she continued. She'd given this talk many, many times in her professional life, but probably not with her face turned to the wall. (BREATHE IN BREATHE OUT) 44 more explorations from the pen of Gavin Boyter, these tales are set in locations and times as far-flung as a Romanian particle accelerator, an active Vanuatu volcano, and a London start-up offering interdimensional escapes. Meet a monkey matchmaker, a merciful Roman Legionnaire, and a lonely Italian monk in love with a girl on a bicycle. In other tales in this anthology... -an ageing hiker delivers a mysterious Victorian love letter to a spectre in the snowy Scottish Highlands...
-an enterprising teenager makes an unexpected friend and becomes a schoolyard entrepreneur through photography... -a grieving father decides to erase the memory of his child, and finds he's losing himself instead...
