CERTAINTY and Other Illusionsfrom the White Cat Collection... short stories of a different kind... profound literary story-telling by a master of the craft
... a traveller on a night train in the middle of a Cinderella tale
... an ageing hairdresser undone by a wartime confession
... a deserted bar by a bridge where past and present seem to meet with the tide
... a young girl's inspiration that predicts a dystopian future
Nine stories of encounters, with strangers, with vanished selves, with the half-buried truths we use to survive.
Told with empathy and flashes of wry humour, uncovering memory and identity, illuminating the fragile scaffolding of the beliefs we live by.
A contemplative and rewarding collection from a masterful observer of humankind.Also from
