The headman of a remote Nigerian village stands amazed before a refrigerator;

worlds apart and unknown to each other, two women, one in Malaysia, one in Uganda, both work to restore the traditional performance arts of their country;

a young Indian student, one day to be a distinguished statesman, shares the anguish of a doomed love affair;

from a Manchester brass foundry, from a creaking ferry crossing the Niger, from a Yorkshire hill farm, emerge some of the other people in this book.

And in a hospital ward a woman remembers….. In this experiment in life-writing Doreen Newlyn's own life is obliquely mirrored in that of others; a collection of short, lovingly observed studies of the extraordinary variety of people she has known, in all of whom she has found qualities and values to admire and love.
