A mother struggles to bond with her newborn baby; a student obsesses about flies spreading their killer germs; an old man is at the mercy of his care home nurse. People can look 'normal', but often they're not. Inspired by the author's experiences as a nurse over the last 30 years, and written with huge compassion and warmth, this thought-provoking short story collection explores just what makes us tick - and what happens when the mind falters and breaks down. Obsession, dementia, post-natal depression, psychosis and even murder all feature in this 'Tales of the Unexpected' for the 21st century.
