The Condom and Other Stories
by Peter Chika
Genre: Literary Fiction, Short Stories
~How
does a philandering London lawyer explain the condom his shocked wife
found in his clothes that morning?
~Can sophisticated Ada hold her
breath—and misgivings—long enough to finish consulting the musty
mystic healer on her childlessness?
~Why does feisty Nez seem to
be doing everything possible to fail her visa interview at the US
Embassy?
~Will straitlaced Susan, a chorister and prayer warrior,
come up with a ruse in time to stop her partner from yielding to the
rapacious preacher?
Intrigue
follows intrigue as The
Condom and Other Stories reels
out a colorful cast of characters that readers will love and loathe
at the same time. The seventeen stories are told at pace, each laced
with humor, snappy dialogue, and the occasional twist. As the
heroines and heroes wade through encounters and trying relationships,
their inflamed passions, conflicted moralities, and nifty schemes
come together to produce a series of amusing results.
