A middle-aged woman relishes the freedom gained by her mother's death; a young boy longs for a violent happening; a flamboyant homosexual ends his life as a derelict ... In this collection of stories Susan Hill focuses on those who are lonely or frustrated to convey, with characteristic sharpness and compassion, the small fears and dramas that make everyday life so normal - and so terrifying.
