AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'This is a collection of nine stories that treat the emotions of human interaction; between lovers, friends, siblings, and the fine thread that binds daughters to their ageing fathers. Rosanne Dingli, an award-winning short fiction author, takes locations, art and aspects of complex human relationships and weaves them into a memorable fabric. From the longings of a lonely old man, to the rage of an envious artist, emotion textures the narratives and salutes the reader’s sympathy for imagined characters so similar to those encountered every day of one’s life' (publisher's blurb).
Some of the stories in this collection were previously published in slightly different versions (Rosanne Dingli, iii).
