Description

The power of the sense of smell as a trigger for memory is explored in the title story. An unexpected relationship on a Connecticut beach develops between two women who have lost their husbands in another story. A further story explores a disturbed adolescent boy's path to resolution.

These are some of the themes in the eight short stories in this little book by novice writer Richard Newell, a retired physician with 'an incredible gift for writing and story-telling'.
