"Small accidents" a nice book for the writer Andrew Neil Gray. This book is not a novel, it conclude a small different accidents stories that happens in different places in different times with different people. The first story called "outside", it talks about a new married couple who were in a party and in the way of going back home the wife was the reason for a car accident which affect their life in a bad way. In general, thee book is good and has a lot of good different information but it was sad because most of the stories has a sad ending although all of them teach the reader a lesson in the life.
