by Carol Lake (Author)
A collection of short stories based around a switchboard, by the winner of the 1989 Guardian fiction prize. They describe the days in the 1960s when telephone operators saved marriages, and taught the local peer some manners by connecting him to the waterworks so he couldn't phone his bookie.
