Life, death and all things in between (including the decisions that we make, or have thrust upon us) are among the poignant moments and personal epiphanies captured in a skilfully blended collection of bittersweet tales, told with honesty, candour, plenty of humour and never a dull moment, though the characters themselves seem to dwell in a certain twilight. Short stories and flash fiction.
