Beam of Light

A very good book of short stories that have a seemingly connected theme of flawed people, be they the young or the old, the single or the married. Drug takers, through to weird Christian wannabe hippy wife swappers and more, are represented in 29 tales told over only 259 pages.

Mostly set in Western Australia, with the odd foray to other places.

Great cover, an ibis in polluted water and a metaphor for many of the stories ecological roots.

Short stories = short review. Recommended to those that wonder about us all.
