In this collection, stories are taken from two previous volumes, Blood and Where You Find It. The forty-two snap shots of life are mainly of women and young girls, struggling with emotions, sometimes realized and sometimes not. In all, there seems to be an underlying link of isolation and truth. The settings are varied, from a visit to the dentist to the place known as home, to a walk in the evening. We have a peek into the deepest darkest corners of everyday relationships, with lovers, partners and most of all ourselves.
For some more stories that will leave you with a shudder, that of a creepy one, there is [[The Lottery and Other Stories by Shirley Jackson]]. Or, in keeping with the Scottish author theme why not try [[Agnes Owens: The Complete Novellas]], which, although older, still deals with life and its relationships.
