The seven short stories in this book come from different volumes in the Oxford Bookworms Library. There are five stories at Stage 1 and two stories at Stage 2. All have been specially chosen for Reading Circles. The stories are all very different. There are stories set in Turkey, in Finland, in New York, and in England. There are modern stories, about sisters and their boyfriends, and about secret agents and drug companies. There are stories about life in the last century, stories about city life and country life. Different times and different places, but we see that people’s hopes and dreams do not change. Love and hate, laughter and sadness can all be found in these stories.

He manages to enjoy life, and indeed, has quite a lot of fun, one way and another . . . Mary Wesley’s story takes a sharp but light-hearted look at love, sex, and marriage – and the things people will do to get what they want.
