Publisher's Synopsis
In this collection of short stories, 26 people share aspects of their lives which all connect, forming a tangled web that spans across the decades. Events which happened years ago can affect the present and future. Taking place over a period of 50 years, each character lets us glimpse into their lives, and through their eyes we learn about many others. Jason discovers his wife has had an affair, and fuelled by anger and alcohol, he drunkenly crashes his car killing Liam and Warren's father. Meanwhile, in another part of town, in another year Melanie is dealing with the chaos that a Bank Holiday brings to a supermarket, unaware that her daughter, Freya, has landed herself in some serious trouble. In a different decade Zoe and Shane are choosing names for their twins, and Queenie is dreaming of running away with the lead singer of her favourite band. Fast-forward a few years into the future to questionable television psychic, Larry, receiving a message from Ella from beyond the grave, and Christine finding out that her dead husband had been keeping secrets from her. To what extent do the actions of others influence our own journey?
