Meet the inventor of pre-conception contracts. The foodie high roller. The menopausal student shamans. The young window cleaner. The aspiring philosopher. The people taking it one-day-at-a-time.

These astute and prescient stories zigzag from England to India, from Europe to Hong Kong, and from the past to the future. As they traverse youthfulness to late life and everything in between, fault lines trip the characters, revealing rifts and the gift for resolutions.

"A spirit of philosophical enquiry infuses the collection, which provides impressively subtle psychological character portraits... Indeed, this is the principal strength of Jindal's stories: to show how the deeply eccentric is an everyday feature of human life... A thoughtful anthology that offers an insightful peek into the oddities of human experience."
-- Kirkus Reviews
"If the skill of constructing a short story can be tested anywhere it is in its final line, and Jindal has us right in the palm of her hand until the end."
-- Riggwelter
