English Short Stories
- stories for
adult English learners!
Three brothers: Tim, Joe and Karl have been at sea for nineteen days in their quest to get back to the safety of mainland Scotland. But with a worrying lack of food and time running out to find dry land, old issues resurface and an increasingly problematic relationship reaches its breaking point.
Part of the
series, this edition asks us how our state of mind affects the decisions we make, whether or not old demons can be repaired and how we might act in a moment of severe crisis. Graded at
