The Answer Is in the Suitcase

Where do I start? was Anthea’s first question. It’s everyone’s question at the beginning of a story. Every author’s question from the first line of the novel about to be penned. ‘Is everything pointless? Those were the words repeating over and over inside her mind. If there is to be a beginning, a middle and an end, should I start from the end and work back?’ The twenty-six characters all have one thing in common, a coffee table in a café, in Baker Street, London. Table 31, carefully chosen for many reasons, is a platform; it is the place of conversation 2 3 amongst friends, forming numerous questions. Issues were constantly leading to old doors, chunky black iron keys and brick walls, gates, fences, and holes in the floor. Barriers that block the way through many frustrations ahead of the questioner. That is what life is about. A story based on true life experiences, about societies problems and who’s right, who’s wrong. About missing links to life’s eternal questions. Many people called spiritual answers ridiculous or illogical. Something that cannot be proven always remained a mystery as if some information was missing. Set across twenty-six chapters and twenty-six main characters, all searching for their truth.
