註釋“Sexual noises” from next door are what disturbs Mrs Quiet’s peaceful lifestyle. This and many other annoying little habits make up the fascinating agenda of George the mediator, as he strives to bring peace among feuding neighbours. Also among this colourful collection of stories you will find teachers helping disabled Stuey to abseil in the Lake district, the mysterious disappearance of the Rhubarb pie, Danny finding that cooking his first chocolate cake is not all that it seems, and a nod in the direction of Terry Pratchett’s Good Omens. “Takeaway” references the child grooming scandal in Rochdale and elsewhere. The sad death of his beloved wife drives Simon into a dramatic course of action that both angers and delights his family (Last sunrise), while Zoe the girl that knows what she wants but can’t get it from her school or parents, sheds a bizarre light on the present school system. (Zoe the wrestler) John Ling brings his experience of mediation, special needs teaching, and lots of love and laughter, into this unusual collection of short stories.
