Imaginative, witty, topical stories with unexpected twists and turns.
The book portrays snippets of everyday life which contain a deeper meaning than is immediately apparent. There are stories about women who try to prove they are not invisible, people escaping from a cult, coincidental encounters with long lost friends, historical characters who reassert themselves into the present, scenarios which foreshadow what is to come, the danger of relying on other people's philosophy rather than one's own, alongside suggestions on how best to survive Christmas or deal with unwanted intruders.
In Butterflies and other stories, Jenny Palmer writes from the vantage point of her home in rural Lancashire. She reflects on the turbulent times in which we live, on how people cope in their everyday lives, whether it be living through lockdown, escaping from a cult, dealing with the 'hostile environment, ' having a pre-payment meter installed, or preparing for an uncertain future. Maintaining a lightness of touch, the stories are imbued with a sense of the healing power of nature and an appreciation of its beauty.
