‘This moment is perfect.’
When Michelle meets Jonny for the first time, she thinks he is an odd and strange character. She finds him guarded, difficult to read, unpredictable, and temperamental. He isn’t impressed with her either. He thinks of her as childish and annoying, with a lot of growing up to do. They both don’t like each other and struggle to get on because they are very different. But as spring turns into summer, they warm up to each other and go camping in New Forest together. During their adventure, they start to open up and become friends. A mutual level of care, respect, and trust develops between them.
They grow closer.
Feelings deepen.
Then, in a sudden twist of fate, they have to separate.
‘Come on, Seashell, be strong,’ is the last thing she hears him say. And then, just like that, he is gone.
Will they end up together?
Journey into the heart of captivating and quirky Brighton, in the south of England, with Pickle Mist—a tale inspired by a true story of two strangers meeting and finding themselves helplessly swept up into the currents of the universe.
The characters in this collection of stories are people we all know. People like ourselves, searching and yearning, often in the wrong places for something meaningful and real or for at least a brief moment, right. A real-estate agent tries to sell a home to a feuding couple while his own marriage is being tested; a divorcee resigned to drink and television for company finds pleasures of life with another woman; and the price a mother pays when love and its irrationality blinds her to her parental duties. In these stories what is excavated and revealed lies at the heart of Singaporean lives.
LET ME TELL YOU A SECRET.
Overseas Filipino Workers or OFWs. You either know one, are related to one, want to be one, or are one. OFWs are so ubiquitous to the Philippines that we think we’re familiar with the kind of lives they lead. We presume we know who they are, what they’re like, or perhaps even what secrets they keep. But do we?
From mananangals to aswangs, engkantos to mambabarangs, oryols to andudunongs, and even the great Bakunawa—The Secret Lives of OFWs follows eight different stories of Filipino migrant workers who happen to be supernaturals. Forced to embark on their own migratory sojourns to seek a better life and provide for their loved ones, these stories delve into the struggles faced by OFWs and their families—and how even feared creatures of Philippine folklore are not spared from the hardships of the diaspora.
This collection tells moving narratives of love and resilience. Of enduring against the monstrosity of abuse, assault, isolation and fractured family dynamics. A speculative exploration that answers the question: can the horrors and challenges of the Filipino migration experience surpass even the darkest realms of the supernatural?
