A collection of 15 stories, each one with an unusual flavour, conveying its message in a slightly off-beat way. In 'Eternal Youth' a woman seeks a solution to her fear of ageing, but the terrible conclusion is unexpected. Set in Italy, 'Tarantella' describes how a young woman finds inner peace in a bizarre way. How do a middle-aged couple on a holiday to recapture the bliss of their first honeymoon find their lives renewed by ending up isolated by a hurricane? Reading these stories, you are transported into a world with a different quality, so that by the time you have finished, you will see things with different eyes. The author's aim is to entertain while at the same time making you think and reconsider your views about the things that are most important to our lives in a complex, often baffling world.
