Product Description

Review
"The eight stories in this first collection from British-born Oregonian Davies promise to keep you on your toes. They start benignly, often comically, but inevitably there comes a moment when, with the briefest of phrases, Davies startles the reader with a sudden turn down some melancholy and treacherous path."

Synopsis
A British writer presents a collection of short stories--two of which have appeared in the annual anthology The Best American Short Stories--that span the globe and mix the fantastic and the ordinary, and politics and humor.
