In her second volume of short stories, which follows the hugely successful 'Encounters', Barbara Erskine has created a wide and vivid range of worlds and emotions, from love, romance, loneliness, grief, to betrayal, passion, adventure, and compelling suspense.

A biographer investigating a tragic death hears voices from the past drawing her towards the truth...A nineteenth century parson’s daughter is caught up in the excitement and romance of a smuggling intrigue...A young boy from a deprived background finds his own haven in the wastelands of the inner city... A young woman, struggling to choose between love or her career, finds help from an unexpected source...
