Using a variety of short literary forms, ranging from dramatic monologues, vignettes, and letters, to prose poems, fantasy, and more, Sewell's fiction offers insightful, compassionate slices of life that will bring laughter and, at the same time, take you deeper into the mysteries of life: a lonely woman is distressed because her plant has stopped blooming; marriage partners talk past each other in a therapy session; a man comes across a ragtag street band in New Orleans and reconsiders his life choices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese short, compelling readings reveal the cultural incongruities and inanities that crowd our lives. We love, we lose, we die, and through it all, we ask, \"What's it all about?\" Sewell invites us to ponder with her and perhaps come to trust our common humanity and our most noble instincts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47536725000428,"sku":"9781558968431","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/79e9f2807a9c119f08c682cb4226e6e0.jpg?v=1776905093"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/marilyn-sewell.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
