A young woman's life is turned upside down as she prepares to confront her deepest fears. A group of friends is called together to hear a clergyman's shocking revelation. A little girl tries to make amends, in the only way she knows how. A down-and-out variety performer remembers his dearest companion. A tumultuous love affair is given an unusual new perspective. A mother tries to mend a damaged relationship with her son, but he's changed beyond recognition. Regular London walks evoke past times and events for a veteran and his friend. In these short stories by Carolyn Pertwee - tales of love, betrayal, death, family turmoil, sexual misdemeanours, friendship, sadness, pathos and even murder - a twist and a turn are never far away. Often compared to Roald Dahl's stories this collection of tales is sometimes moving, frequently humorous, always entertaining and guaranteed to keep you intrigued.
