Product Description

Product Description

Friends, family, workmates. The woman you see at the bus stop every morning; the man who reaches for the last newspaper just before you get to it. Everyone you meet, and some you nearly meet, will have an impact on the way your day goes. "Small World" is the story of a group of men and women, living and working in a city, who are connected through love, work, friendship, or simply by virtue of proximity. We connect with the hearts and minds of characters including an all-coping housewife, a stressed out working mother, a put-upon nanny, a long-suffering journalist, an Indian waiter who dreams of stardom, a grieving shop assistant, a stand-up comic and a psychotic policeman - all of whom speak directly to us about their innermost thoughts, fears and desires in a series of interwoven first-person narratives.


From the Back Cover

This is the story of a woman desperate for a baby, a stalker desperate for the woman and an au pair desperate for a new nose; a shoplifting sales assistant, a God-fearing nurse and a self-loathing policeman; a washed-up comedian, a luckless dope dealer and a murderer.

It’s a story about a world where – whether you know it or not, and usually you don’t – you are only ever two steps away from death or redemption. In short, it is a story about us, and the world we all live in.
