THINGS THAT MAKE THE HEART BEAT FASTER
João Morais (Parthian)
The best stories often come from encounters with strangers, usually when drunk in a pub, overhearing conversations you probably shouldn’t have been listening to. It’s during these moments that all formalities and sober awkwardness soars out the window: you must know more about what they were talking about and who they are! There’s no need to get drunk at a pub for this one – João Morais has taken the time to stop and explore the Cardiff most people don’t tend to see. Things That Make The Heart Beat Faster delves into ordinary lives, sharing intimately changing moments from their lives; moments that made their (and will make your) heart beat a little faster. These 10 stories will make you angry, laugh, cry, and overall astound you, all in just over 100 pages. ED
