The author has created a set of appealing short stories by cleverly
exploring the theme of human relationships played out in a variety
of ways. The characters face some tough challenges in the stories
about aid work in Africa and they must learn to pull together as a
team. In 'The Rifle', a retired doctor recalls how he left his
family behind to join a medical relief group and help the desperate
Biafrans. He and his support staff find the lack of clean water is
a mere inconvenience compared with the danger of being accused of
gun-running In complete contrast, 'A Hero' is a touching story of a
little boy, Daniel, who falls hopelessly in love with his piano
teacher. The teacher is unaware of the emotional turmoil she
causes, especially as her attention is centred on her fiance.
Daniel faces a real dilemma: how can he prove himself and get
noticed? Each story in the collection is complete in itself and
introduces new characters and new situations. Something for
everyone Born in 1921, WH Watson was wounded and captured during
the commando raid on St Nazaire in 1942. for charities over short
periods in Somalia, Sierra Leone, Nepal, Afghanistan and India, and
for two years in Malawi.
