Parallel Lives

Parallel Lives presents an enchanting tapestry of tales woven with the threads of ordinary lives touched by the extraordinary. From the bustling streets of the United Kingdom to the sun-drenched vistas of Italy, each story beckons readers into worlds both familiar and fantastical.
Dive into the lives of vibrant characters, young and old, as they embark on soul-stirring journeys. Whether it’s the gentle sway of a cruise ship or the spirited energy of a racing stable, the hallowed quiet of a church or the mesmerizing allure of a witch’s den, every setting is a doorway to wonder.
Journey to a Welsh farm, soar through the bustling hubbub of an airport, seek solace in a convent, marvel at the artistry of a tattoo parlour, and find warmth in a care home for the elderly. Along the way, encounter people from all walks of life, each with a unique tale to tell, a lesson to learn, or a secret to share. And in the midst of this rich tapestry, discover the charm of an imaginary companion who binds these tales together.
In Parallel Lives, every page is an invitation to step into a realm where the mundane meets the magical, and life’s simplest moments hold the promise of wonder.
