Birthday stories
2006
Book
Our birthday is a day of the year we're sure to remember, a marker in time from which it is easy to asses exactly the course our lives have taken over the last twelve months. Here, the author has assembled birthday scenes of family ties wished for, made and broken; of imperfect pasts and uncertain futures; and more.
