Vertical Hold

Thoughtful Witty Melancholic BraveLike towels and a deckchair on a beach, like a cool drink and a dip in the ocean, these fifteen stories embody what it is like to holiday on the coast. Each one provides an atmosphere to bask in, characters to befriend for a short while. Friendships are made within these pages, loves made and lost. Locations become the backdrop for fleeting experiences, which nevertheless accompany and impress the reader and linger for longer than just an afternoon in the shade. A cat with a naughty habit, the lost friendship of a lonely old man, a stolen first love and a train that comes and goes without the expected passenger. You will want to return to them again and again.
