About the Book

A self-important surgeon reveals peculiar tastes; regulars at a holiday park watch Sweetie and Cowboy fail at camping; unexpected feelings arise after a child is lost; traditional arranged marriages conflict with modern desires; a family falls apart when Auntie Pam contests Granddad’s will — and much more.

These imaginative and unpredictable stories, told with wit and keen observation, take us into unusual lives and explore the intricacies and quirks of being human.
