The stories represent life as we know it – but writ large, and in bold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stories are written with adults in mind; and the stories feature adults – their desires, passions, trials and tribulations. Here we find men and women of all ages - from 18 to 80 – from a plethora of different backgrounds and situations, and their desperate need – and struggle – to make sense, and success, of the particular 'hand' that they've been dealt by life's endless challenges and variety. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stories focus on the great themes of life: love; and rejection. Betrayal, and heartache. Obsession, and desperation. Fear - and greed. These stories are intense, and powerful – but always with surprising twists and turns, and often astonishing conclusions. And, hopefully, they inspire reflection – and provoke thought. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough many stories are dark and tragic, hope is nearly always present: as a rainbow, following the storm. The humanity, the dilemmas, and the destiny of every central character will, it is hoped, fully engage the interest and empathy of every reader.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40793590169697,"sku":"9781803136530","price":11.03,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/products\/96ed148b86e701c55fe9dc99d210b5e9.png?v=1681415869","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781803136530-vinegar-wine","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
