Description

Nicky is heavily pregnant and should be looking forward to a new home-life. But her mother-in-law has other plans. Ethan's plans do not involve his mother - until he's expecting his second child and things come full circle. Alec is playing at hating his neighbour's extreme Christmas decorations, up to the moment love strikes and changes all the rules. A young dad's impatient care transforms to grace once he allows himself into his small daughter's game. The instinct to make rivals; the urge to reach out to others. These competing claims - and flawed, elusive love - are the territory of these nineteen rich stories. "Circle Games" probes our darker fantasies of power, control and revenge, in a world not far removed from Grimm's menacing forests, where games are seldom innocent.
