THE URN - TEN STORIES

The Urn by Malcolm Menzies is a collection of ten tales, all different but all linked by the description of varying aspects of the human condition. Set in different eras and locations - the Spanish Civil War, the Manchester Peterloo Massacre, post-war Liverpool, the Peruvian Shining Path - and each an adventure in its own right, these ten stories appear at first unconnected but in fact, as the reader progresses, there is a subtle and almost imperceptible thread that runs through them all, that of mans struggle with life. Love, loss, passion, injustice and fate
