Uncle's Dream; and The Permanent Husband

About this audiobook
A fading prince becomes the target of a provincial town's ambitious matrons, sparking a comedy of errors and deceit. In a darker turn, a man is haunted by the presence of his deceased wife’s lover, leading to a strange and tense standoff. These novellas peel back the layers of social politeness to reveal the grotesque vanity underneath. A study in the awkwardness and cruelty of human interactions.
