    About this ebook

    He said, “but I’d like to see more of you.” I nearly laughed. This was the phrase which my girlfriend and I had identified months earlier as an indication that a man might like to see, not just more, but all of you, preferably in bed.
    - from "Grigor"

    “Welcome to Australia,” said the brown, leathery man and held out his hand for Dad to grasp. The other figure just stood there until I smiled and then I saw that this was a young woman, a girl, dressed in the same dirty jeans and work shirt as the man.
    - from "Something's Lost"

    Nineteen short stories from master story-teller and award-winning writer, Thea Biesheuvel, explore many themes — love, loss, assimilation, war and the resilience of the human spirit.
