    Curious: True Stories and Loose Connections

    Rebecca Front

    Formats & Editions

    Sometimes things are more ordinary than you think. And sometimes they're a whole lot odder than you can possibly imagine . . .

    By turns poignant, comic and uplifting, CURIOUS is a book of stories from Rebecca Front's life, all of them true, though sometimes perhaps a little bent out of shape in the telling.

    • A brilliant storyteller, it's the curious in the quotidian that attracts her gaze as she spins her funny and poignant tales - SCOTSMAN
