The short stories take you for an eclectic tour around Europe in 'Viennese Blood', 'The Ferris Wheel', 'Apple of Paradise'; to and from Australia with 'Back Burning', 'Heatwave', 'The Colour of Haze'; crossing cultures in 'The Boy from Bul', 'Matroshki' ; and shifting between generations with 'Eyes to See' and 'Western Rerun'. Also included are flash fictions that by definition show "less is more". Finally, there are essays, published in World Literature Today, as written by the author while she was based in Vienna.
