The man who really is a sheep in wolf's clothing; a couple who find their lives ruined by knowledge; and the place where commuters go when they die are just a few of the slices of real life that form part of this powerful new book by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles.

Turning her unique perception on modern life, the author creates stories that turn the ordinary into the extraordinary and back again, using her own blend of warmth and humour.
