Book description This book of short stories is candy for the mind! Sweet, sour and spicy! Written with humour over a number of years, these pieces were drawn together from tales told to me by friends and strangers, my own life experiences, and observation of goings on in other lives, or just plain nosiness. And in the cauldron of the author's psyche they come alive with a dollop or two of imagination stirred in for good measure; unforeseen twists, sometimes lurid, await the reader at every turn of the page. The last and longest story in the book, Beyond Friendship, moves through the changing relationship between a bold but resourceful woman and a sophisticated older man. The immigrant experience is reflected in a number of the stories, which is not surprising considering the author herself found a new life in Canada many years ago. The settings for the stories range from Northern Ireland to a cruise ship to an POW camp in England to the North Pole or not, and various places in and around Toronto and Montreal.
