Stories about chance encounters and the difficulty of connecting with others. In one, a young Canadian woman abandoned by her husband wanders through 1960s Paris and comes across characters as colourful as they are disconcerting, in a comedy of manners with a tragic undertone.

For readers of short stories and Canadian literature looking for an ironic and sharp narrative about the oddities of everyday life.
