    About this audiobook

    Pinch points, bottlenecks, difficulties and trials: pupils incited to violence by a teacher, a mother frantic after the loss of her son, an old lady attacked by an elm tree. This fresh collection of 12 short stories sees vulnerable characters tested by situations where reality collides with the magical, revealing human weakness, longing and fear. Read the adventures of these literary crash test dummies and ponder their actions and yours. These offbeat tales will leave you with lasting images and the sweet taste of escape.
