A brilliant little tale, evocative and thought provoking. A short, sharp punch to the mind that leaves you wishing there was more back story... yet happy to go about your day imagining a back story all of your own.

I love Lenny’s insight, emotion and wit; “Tracing the edge of happiness” is simply a wonderful way of looking at things. If pressed I would say that, “When They Ask” was my favourite.
