The Summer of the Seventeenth Doll and Other Stories is a collection of short fiction about memory, loss, chance, love, and the strange moments that alter lives forever.
A young woman returns from a summer in France carrying a secret she cannot escape. A wartime evacuee dreams of dragons in the hills above the sea. An Englishman in Thailand prepares to leave behind the woman and the life he loves. A painter of doors offers a glimpse into another world. A holiday turns quietly unsettling. Love appears, unexpectedly, through the sound of a voice.
Moving between England, France, Thailand, Burma, and imagined inner landscapes, these stories explore lives caught at points of change - sometimes tender, sometimes disturbing, always human.
Written with a photographer's eye for atmosphere and detail, this collection brings together tales of longing, regret, mystery, and fragile hope.
