A wonderful collection of short stories from the author of the award-winning novel The Alphonse Courrier Affair. A brilliantly perceptive exploration of personalities and relationships seen through five stories, each of which has its point of focus - an event, an emotion, a reaction or a moment - around which the whole composition takes shape.
