- Summary:
- This collection of short stories is wonderfully varied. Each story 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.
