In this collection of short stories, the author takes the reader into a sensuous world of endless winters and midnight sun. As far apart as Finland, the Austrian Tyrol, and upstate New York, these stories come alive to the touch of estrangement, misunderstanding, sexuality and loss.

'We could bore ourselves to death, drink ourselves to death, or have a bit of an adventure...' When they retired,

Terry and Monica Darlington decided to sail their canal narrow boat across the Channel and down to the

Mediterranean, together with their whippet Jim. They took advice from experts, who said they would die, together

with their whippet Jim. On the Phyllis May, you dive through six-foot waves in the Channel, are swept down the

terrible Rhone, and fight for your life in a storm among the flamingos of the Camargue. You meet the French nobody

meets - poets, captains, historians, drunks, bargees, men with guns, scholars, madmen - they all want to know the

people on the painted boat and their narrow dog. You visit the France nobody knows - the backwaters of Flanders,

the canals beneath Paris, the heavenly Yonne, the lost Burgundy Canal, the islands of the Saone, and the forbidden

ways to the Mediterranean. Aliens, dicks, trolls, vandals, gongoozlers, killer fish and the walking dead all stand

between our three innocents and their goal - many-towered Carcassonne.
