Every morning Zoe counts and comments on Rebecca's (her daughter) nine round sneezing routine. Rebecca's sick of it. Her best friend, Cath, is trying to find a boyfriend for Rebecca but is losing hope because she's SO picky. In truth 'Becca doesn't like boys at all and is kinda smitten with Cath herself.

A series of chamber-fictions inhabited by a young woman named Alice. Linked in an oblique, dream-like way, these short, sharp stories describe Alice's survival in an everyday world of bizarre logic and strange emotions. A collection of allusive, absurdist, narrative episodes, which often resemble dream fragments; it's a place where miracles unfold in the bathroom and desire appears on a bus, where menacing joggers roam the suburbs and there's something sinister about hats.
