✦ Synopsis

This collection of enjoyable and imaginative short stories are winning entries from various competitions the author has entered. Three of the stories draw on the author's deep knowledge of Japan: two mysterious ladies in kimono who don't speak to each other – a woman involved in the Japanese tsunami, and the third follows two women's parallel lives in London and Tokyo. Others look at life in a quirky way with a speaking house, a woman who cannot live without the colour red in her life, a childhood memory of a faggots and peas cafe, a children's story about a puppy and lastly, but by no means least, a warning of what can happen to you the day after you win the lottery!
