A twist at every turn
A collection of short stories, The Dinner Party and Other Stories, keeps you thinking long after you have finished reading them and closed the book. You wonder what could have been, you wonder why relationships are so fragile, so delicate, why egos so big. You wonder how far you are willing to go to not upset the apple cart – What does it take to hold on to a relationship even if you know it doesn’t exist anymore. The stories are cathartic, incomplete and addresses that one moment of vulnerability in the characters when they break down and expose their true self to the reader. If you are unsure about you want, this collection surely pivots you in many directions.
