A man celebrates his birthday alone, content in the solitude. A woman whimsically irons out the creases of her life. A couple struggles to cope with the precarious life of their premature baby. The discovery of a grandfather’s World War I diary, written in the trenches, stirs heart-breaking memories. A group of writers meets every second Tuesday in a seaside suburb of Melbourne. This collection of fiction, memoir and poetry by Elwood Writers captures points of drama often found in the everyday.
