A collection of powerful, witty short stories set in multi-cultural Britain. One of Ray French's strong points is his ability to create believable, nuanced people from all kinds of backgrounds. He has a natural flair for dialogue and plot, and a lively sense of the comic as well as the tragic aspects of the ethnic tensions within society. The main themes of belonging and exile and parent/child relationships run through all the stories, making the book a coherent and intriguing read.
