Pram-strolling and other stories

Do we know our weaknesses and hidden desires? Do we truly see ourselves? This collection of provocative stories dramatizes how apparently innocent acts can produce unforeseen effects, changing fates and even destroying lives. An ordinary stroll with a pram ends with tragic consequences; a confused teenager finds herself betraying a guileless friend. A woman meets her ideal husband, unaware of how deeply he was traumatised by his war experiences. The characters herein are plagued by love, hate, jealousy, resentment and shame, but they all find ways to justify their deeds.
