A repentant wife, lost dog returned and house risen from ashes can only mean one thing: someone is playing a country and western song backwards. In a mysterious, wisteria covered cottage, an unfaithful husband faces a devilish ultimatum. Blown off course, a letter travels the world pursued by its mortal foe, the wind. Languishing in an opportunity shop window, an exquisite wedding gown may not be the bargain it seems. A pugilistic kitten and robot vacuum with poor self-esteem take on the mean city streets…
From humour and magic to twisted tales, yearning and desire, these eclectic short stories reimagine songs by U2, Aerosmith, Billy Connolly, Chris Isaak, Paul Kelly & The Stormwater Boys, Crowded House, The Beatles, Divinyls, Hoagy Carmichael, The Temptations, Kylie Minogue, and The Shangri-Las, along with music by Debussy, de Lulli, Schumann, Beethoven, Steve Rosenberg and Dvořák but definitely not The Rolling Stones.*
