Description: These stories by Western Australian author, K.  Overman-Edmiston, take the reader on a journey through continents and cultures.
Whether set in Australia, France, Ireland or Greece, the stories present situations rich in colour and texture. Most of all, however, they illustrate the complexity of the inner human landscape. 

The stories present a variety of characters. We meet a young man cleaning up after a rock concert; a beekeeper of the present with an ancient past; a women seeking release from a deadening marriage; an old, dying man eking out a quiet space for pleasure and peace; a tired family man re-living the intensity of a teenage crush; and two women lost, but regained through unconditional friendship.

These are stories of the human spirit. They are explorations of how people cope. They look to the mystical as being firmly grounded in the day-to-day. This collection evokes the poetry of everyday life.
