Stories from Anywhere

Résumé du livre

Twelve writers, twelve stories. From intrigue in Colombia to bizarre adventures in Italy, from an unusual protest to a prison break in Chile. Get ready for an exciting journey with this collection from Tunbridge Wells Writers...Here's a flavour from some of the stories.'Down with words! Shout for silence! Fight for the right! Fight for the right!''The prison was named La Fuerza Tranquila, though the woman's grasp of Spanish was far from perfect; she thought it meant The Silent Fort or The Quiet Strength, though was unsure which. It was probably the former but she preferred the latter, evoking thoughts of defiance and iron will among those incarcerated.''You feel uncomfortable. Physically and emotionally. The bench is too hard, and the back is too upright. It was fine at first. Well, adequate, if not really 'fine'. Not what you would have chosen to relax on for an evening, but not worth worrying about for a couple of minutes.''Sophie curses her God. She curses all the saints she can remember from her convent school days. Then she thanks Our Lady, in the guise of her Portuguese grandmother, for giving her a swarthy skin that can stand the heat of November in northern Italy.'
