A gifted young textile designer leaves Britain to work for a
Nigerian women's refuge, confident in the conviction that this is
her one chance to make a difference; a 16-year-old accepts a
low-paying job as a window-cleaner for the opportunity it affords
him to peer into other people's lives, and carefully plan his own;
and a leading scientist risks his career by taking a secret lover
back to his house one night, driven by a passion to share his new
theory. The characters in this short story collection are
unashamedly defiant. Buoyed by their self-belief, they enthuse,
take calculated risks, and refuse to be beaten by situations.
Offering an object lesson in how fine the balance can be between
self-confidence and self-delusion, this compilation demonstrates
how individuals, caught momentarily off-guard, drunk on the
smallest drop of confidence, are ultimately brought down by their
own belief in themselves.
