About the book
A collection of short stories told by wives, husbands, sons, daughters, lovers and strangers. There are star-crossed travellers who take each other's bags by mistake, only to learn that when you unlock a stranger's suitcase you enter a stranger's life; the house-sitter who moves into her client's life as well as her home; a holiday for four in Greece which has surprising consequences; and the chance encounter at an airport which brings together an unlikely group of people. 583 583.
