So I just spent hours talking to two voices that sounded like mine.
With the same giggle.
Only one was in Norfolk and called Phillippa, and one was in California. Susie! er..
(Susie, was that you being 'Doris'?)
And Susie and I look SO similar it is frightening.
and Charlie is in Manhattan. And Sally is in Boston. Suddenly, looks like I am part of an international sports team.
This is FUN.

Waterstone’s says: "...some of the most beautifully crafted and engrossing stories that one can read..." The Asham Award website says: "This stunning range of work is not afraid to explore the darker side of human emotion, yet allows us to see the light which often wavers at the end of the bleakest and longest tunnel. These beautifully written stories are in the best literary tradition, lyrical yet understated. "
