Smile — Deborah Moggach

A wonderfully entertaining and astute collection of short stories about life today. Deborah Moggach's stories take as their subject modern marriage and the modern family. In a world of plastic SMILE badges, devout news-agents peddling porn magazines and bleak estate houses gadgeted like spaceships, men and women come together, draw apart and find out, in between, that there is much room for deception and discovery.
