I picked this on up randomly after making the tragic mistake of not bringing enough books on holiday - it was the only one my husband brought with him that I fancied reading. And I'm actually very glad.

It's a bunch of short stories which tell unexceptional adventures of different people in an understatedly detailed and fascinating way. Each one is only a few pages long (bar the final two) but seems to capture som much detail, so much event and so much of the person in those pages that you feel like you've really read an awful lot of quite involved stories. They're like beautiful little cameo paintings.

Will move on to longer works, I think.

It sounds fab, that and the first one are going on my wishlist I think.

BTW - thank you for the camera case! It's arrived safe and sound, and looks v. useful.
