Seventeen short stories. The ones that were never told.

01 About the book

Seventeen stories, spanning centuries and continents, about the parts of being human that usually go unspoken. Grief and greed, tenderness and cruelty, the small betrayals and the ones that take a lifetime. Some of these lives you will recognise. Others belong to people whose stories were never going to reach you.
