White Sand Cocoon - The Yellow Room Press Short Fiction, #1 - E-book - ePub

Quintessentially British in both tone and setting, from the North East coastline to the Kintyre Peninsula, this vibrant collection of thirty stories evokes a yearning for childhood innocence and all things past with an unflinching honesty. These colourful characters burst from the page like fireworks. White Sand Cocoon is a bold exploration of love, loss and longing; glimpses of a myriad of different human relationships through the eyes of believable characters that resonate.
Young Davey has an impossible decision to make, so contacts a well-known TV presenter for help; Julie, the survivor of a terrorist bomb blast, reflects on her fellow passengers and how a childhood game forty years ago took an unexpected turn; Jacob and Louise, a young couple on holiday in one of the remotest parts of Scotland, put off trying to conceive a child because of Jacob's overriding fear of financial insecurity; with mixed feelings, a father gives his son a lift to the city, suspecting he's about to experience his first sexual encounter.
