Description
'A treasure trove of forty-three stories from the creative imaginations of six story tellers.' Stories from six imaginative writers offer the reader an eclectic selection across many genres and subjects. Turn to 'Doug' and find the love of a daughter for her father's inspirational approach to life. 'A man who not only had everything he wanted, but who wanted everything he had.' He gave good advice. 'If now isn't the best time of your life you should change things so that it is.' Feel melancholy with 'Reflections in a country churchyard' that give rise to the reflections on the harshness of life as it was once lived, and the ways in which we might be remembered, if at all. In 'Double exposure' find a man's excursion into writing from a woman's perspective inspired by a pair of framed photographs owned by one of his colleagues. It tells the story of a woman who discovers the finer details of her ex-lover's duplicity when she studies similar prints on a wall in her best friend's flat. An astounding medical mystery, discovered by accident. Will it transform orthopaedic medicine, or will it be lost forever. Read 'The greenstick fracture' and find the answer. Relationships between mothers and teenage daughters are frequently rather fraught. Solutions are found when one or the other takes the bull by the horns. 'The camel's back' offers one radical solution. A dying triple agent, awaiting burial on the Mount of Olives, confesses to a Rabbi. 'We must do our duty as we see it, resounded in my head every time I killed on the instructions of my superiors. Maybe you can say those words at my burial Rabbi.' Discover more in 'The spy's confession.' These six stories are merely an indication of the treasure trove to tempt and tantalise. Read all forty-three to get satisfaction.
