The fantastic book of everybody's secrets : short stories

Everybody has their secrets, and in Sophie Hannah's fantastic stories the curtains positively twitch with them.

Who, for instance, is the hooded figure hiding in the bushes outside a young man's house?

Why does the same stranger keep appearing in the background of a family's holiday photographs?

What makes a woman stand mesmerised by two children in a school playground, children she's never met but whose names she knows well? And which secret results in a former literary festival director sorting soiled laundry in a shabby hotel?

All will be revealed...but at a cost. As Sophie Hannah uncovers the dark obsessions and strange longings behind the most ordinary relationships, life will never seem quite the same again.
