From Ancient Greece, through contemporary Britain, and into the future, from childhood to old age and beyond, the stories in No More Angels capture the idiosyncrasies of life. A widower struggles to keep his family on the tracks after the death of his young wife, becoming obsessive about order and routine to the point of madness. A schoolboy counts down the days, hours and minutes to a friend's party all too conscious of the realities of the popularity game. A house tour is conducted with the unspoken stench of parenticide hanging in the air.
