Exploring themes of yearning and dislocation, this collection of short stories traverses diverse settings including London, Sierra Leone, and the American Midwest. Characters grapple with personal struggles, such as a middle-aged dance instructor confronting vanity, a young man seeking closure through his father's handwriting after a tragic loss, and a woman in Ohio navigating an unconventional family dynamic with an orphaned child and chimpanzee. Tania James masterfully portrays the complexities of human connection amid the challenges of race, pride, and grief.
