Life, love and their counterparts. Random meetings. Transient moments that change our lives forever. The Kilim Bride and other stories offer vignettes of life and take us to Morocco, Paris, Africa, Spain, the Caribbean, and various parts of Britain.In these stories we meet Mme Sebaillon, whose comfortable life is unsettled by meeting a young English dancer, Reg who's convinced his children are trying to put him in a home; Siobhan whose refuge at her grandfather's pig farm is far from what she expected; the Kilim Bride determined to rewrite her past; the ingenuous Lordywens who encounters human traffickers; and Ben who feels lost until he meets a blind girl in the desert. These short stories are evocative illustrations of life, variously ironic, touching, thought-provoking; a reminder that every moment is precious.
