Susan Midalia's second collection of short stories offers us a compelling variety of characters, all of them 'travellers' in search of connection and belonging. Tourists in Moscow and Vienna confronted by the weight of history. A young student teacher discovering her capacity for compassion.
A teenage boy defending his mother's reputation. A brother anguished by his sister's illness. A widow infatuated with a troubled young man. Conflicts between the silent burdens of the past and the dramas of everyday lives.
