Five diverse short stories set in the horrors of a Nazi concentration camp, a Victorian workhouse, a future time in Italy, nineteenth century rural France and the hippy US music scene in the 1970s. They are linked by a strong narrative and haunting characters as they try to make sense of their lives which have been shaped and determined by random events, while struggling to connect with those around them.
