Description
Each story is a modern day, and is a modern mystery tale, in which the reader becomes the detective tracking down these characters - from the lovelorn goat-herd in a Sri Lankan village to the aspiring Hampstead actress - who both move and delight, revealing as much about us as about themselves. Each one is searching, sometimes hilariously, sometimes tragically, for a truth that can only be realized in personal relationships.
