Five a Day

By Colette Coen

Five a Day is a collection of finely crafted short stories and flash fiction by Colette Coen — winner of the Waterstones' Crime in the City Short Story Competition 2012. The stories, often told in the first person, range from the autobiographical title story about eating fruit (or not) in the 1970s, to an old woman talking to her son about their Christmas plans.
