A lascivious businessman who prefers ladyboys to ladies, a
depressed sea captain who threatens to sink his own ferry, a woman
who eats more than food, and a Thai widow finding her late
husband's roots in Crete-these are just some of the engaging
characters who appear in this original collection of short stories.
Often amusing, sometimes comical and occasionally sad, these tales
are always touching. William Peskett writes with a light touch and
brings a sensitive and sympathetic eye to bear on a wide variety of
characters and an unusual mixture of relationships. Most of the
stories in the collection are set in Thailand or have a Thai
connection and have much to reveal about how life is lived by
locals and by foreigners resident in this fascinating part of the
world. This collection is the companion to the popular Mango and
Sticky Rice And Other Stories.
