‘Worlds Apart’ is about relationships between men and women from different places, different languages, different national cultures, different religions, different lifestyles, and of course, different genders. The stories are humorous yet heart‐rending, satirical yet sensitive, upsetting yet uplifting – essential reading for anyone who loves life, language and British humour.
