Publisher's Synopsis
These are the people you could meet on any day in any town. Seasons of Affection is a collection of short stories set in the author's home town. A small, ordinary town inhabited by ordinary people, busy with the everyday task of living. Yet a central thread of caring pervades the days. Caring for partners and children, for wider family and friends. For the town itself; its heritage and history. Each of the characters is also searching for friendship, independence, affection, love and self-respect. As the seasons in the natural world transition in colour and personality, so too do the ordinary people in this ordinary town, revealing their hidden needs and their hidden selves in the pursuit of happiness.
