The Seduction of Celia : A Collection of Short Stories

In The Seduction of Celia - A Collection of Short Stories, Andrew Dicker presents a polished set of tales which focus on the emotional psychology of the characters involved. What hope for Billy when his mother is a drug addict? Is Mabel really mad or just old, and how will she get along with the strange young woman sent to assess her? Will Vicky, a recent mother of twins, regain her figure and will she really try prostitution as a career, or is that just desperation? Celia, very alluring, very intelligent and successful, but why is a relationship so hard to achieve? In this absorbing collection of short stories, Dicker examines the strata of society and throws into partial relief the things that make us who we are.
