This short collection brings together three stories that are very different in theme, but united by the idea of taking 'a different track'. And by their excellence! In the first, story. 'The Yacht Trip', a lost notebook saves a life. In 'Enemy Lines', a chance encounter links two people who would not normally have anything in common. And in the final story, 'Another Man's Shoes', a man down on his luck takes someone else's clothes - and finds that he has taken a lot more besides.
I can't say too much more about these stories without running the risk of spoiling them for other readers. But I will add that they are all very well written, with vivid descriptions, well developed characters and a smooth, well-paced flow of words. Worth reading for pleasure, but also giving some food for thought.
