A collection of seven inter-related stories, at turns funny, profound, and each a small masterpiece: a marriage is deconstructed by the building of a bicycle, an airport is brought to a standstill on Christmas day; and a young woman changes her life for ever by uttering a single word – and all this takes place in the last two weeks of the year.
