About this title

Synopsis

An updated collection of 22 exquisite short stories (Plus TWO FREE RECIPE VIDEOS) ...From the Atlantic ocean smashing against flat rocks in Ireland, to the sophisticated vacuity and loneliness of London suburbs, gritty Cardiff bay, odd Belgian hotels, Idaho roadside diners, Indian bull-charges, the Confessional, love, infidelity, murder, rare male conversations, philosophical whimsy, to mention but a few...Jacques finds a multitude of voices in surprising locations across the planet to take us on journeys where nothing much may be vaguely familiar, but nothing is certain, other than perhaps a tasty meal at the end of it.Torrid tales of murder, tender tales of love, a peep behind the twitching curtains of the middle classes, and into the minds and hearts of ordinary people. To exist, all of them share a commonality ...A short story collection, like no other. A recipe book, like no other.Whether it’s a commute, a plane journey, a train journey, or just a coffee break away from annoying people you’re paid to be confined with, or something to help send you off to that surreal place of distracted dreams, one thing you’ll not regret are the moments you spend immersed alone with this little gem.'Dog for Sale, Abandoned by Husband', a six word novel in itself begins a Melbourne story of friendship, love, deceit, misplaced trust and suburban banality."Other man is not so well known to many, but is believed to be a man called Lao Tzu. A taoist sage, you know sort…no head-hair, long wispy face-hair wearing dressing gown all the time. He, Mister Monroe, is smiling. You understand?” from Matty Monroe in Paradise, something every one should have once before they die.A perfect book for the modern hungry commuter struggling to empty their head after an annoying day. Thoughts to distract and fill the mind, food to distract and fill the belly, together an uplift for the soul. A hit on all fronts.
