| A collection of twenty stories (by writers including Margaret Atwood, Julio Cortázar and Isabel Huggan) set in the leisurely time of summer, in which 'summer' is so much more than a coveted season; it is also a state of mind, a passage in time, a connection between people, worlds – or a mere illusion. |
