A Wonder Woman and bride-to-be finds herself worse for wear at the end
of a hen night; a funeral director's love of Manchester United proves
unhelpful when talking to the bereaved; two overly-vigilant mothers
wrestle with their paranoia in the queue for Santa's Grotto; a widow
recounts her disastrous return to the world of dating and a father
realises that his son is growing away from him as he helps him tie his
football boots. In these snippets of overheard conversations from
across the length and breadth of the country, Craig Taylor captures
the state we're in with humour and pathos and perfect timing.
Laugh-out-loud funny, and sometimes heartbreakingly moving, these tiny
plays in which every one of us could have a starring role are little
windows into other people's lives that reveal the triumphs, disasters,
prejudices, horrors and joys of twenty-first-century life. Hugely
entertaining and utterly addictive, this is book that can be dipped
into or feasted upon in one sitting. It will change the way you listen
to the world around you, and train journeys will never be the same
again.
