This collection of stories are sweet, sharp and beautifully drawn. I confess to being an avid fan of Ms. Worstall, I love these peeks into other peoples' lives. And all life is here! It's hard to pick a favourite from these three, but if pushed, I'd go for the title story "Jubilee Violin" The joy of a young girl experiencing the exhilaration of playing violin for our Queen, the poignant pride with which the violin's previous elderly owner watches the performance through television. Simply enchanting. The second story (Turning Point)  is one that all working mothers will emphasise with. Flicking over pages, I was taken back twenty years in time to when my sons were babies. I defy anyone not to sympathise as the harassed young mother juggles baby, husband, and work.The mood darkens in Dolls' House. Can I change my mind? Told in first person point of view, I think this is my favourite! In all honesty, these short stories are all polished gems, the author has a gift for creating believable characters, some in extra-ordinary situations - others more down to earth but I lived each and every adventure with them. Thoroughly recommended.
