Dangerous Pleasures, written and read by Patrick Gale by Headline Books

Gentle, witty and sometimes disturbing, Dangerous Pleasures is Patrick Gale's first collection of much loved short stories.

A funeral party ends in an unexpected manner; parents are faced with difficult decisions about their daughter; a housewife transforms her personality with a simple touch-up; a father's trip to his former school brings back memories of love he thought buried forever.
