Treading the Uneven Road: Stories - Paperback

by L. M. Brown (Author)

The stories in this collection are set 1980's and 90's Ireland. A by-pass around a small village has rid the residents of their once busy traffic. They feel forgotten by the world. The need to reach out and be heard is explored in every story, from the young woman who starts to have phone conversations with her husband's gay lover, to the dyslexic man who confronts his cruel teacher years later and the woman whose dreams are shattered because of a married lover. Treading the Uneven Road introduces us to a society that is unraveling and we cannot help feel for Brown's characters who need to make a choice on how to carry on.
