An old soldier haunted by, of all things, the terrible stench of putrefaction, is compelled to seek help. Is it madness that is stalking him - or something entirely different?
A dress-maker, dying in prison, asks to speak in confidence, to a complete stranger. With no hope or wish for absolution, what is her dreadful and saddest of stories that she insists on telling to just one other person?
A dear friend, lost for twenty years, returns bearing shattering news, and an astonishing revelation in the wake of a closeness all too briefly resumed.
The tragic entanglement of families. A most unusual stalker. The importance of shoes. A delightful, if eventful, outing to London.
Love and war, illness and crime, hurt and anger; but also, determination and heroism. These are the tales of Dr Connie Scott, retired psychotherapist of the Deepwater Clinic. Told with perception, skill, and authenticity, they vividly recount events and incidents in the life of this redoubtable character. Jane Baker writes engagingly and movingly, using her own experience to elevate these stories above the common-place.
Read them once, and you will read them again.
