Aftertaste

Stories of love, kindness, desire and revenge

Frank sets off on his bike to help people in his coastal village and stumbles upon a scene that changes his life. A journalist reflects on his betrayal of a colleague in Korea and resolves to make amends. Two former lovers reunite unexpectedly in Japan and visit the place that holds the secret of their past. Sometimes quirky, often gently humorous, Jennifer Shapcott’s collection of stories captures the lives of Australians in our country towns, cities, and the wider world.
