A young man suffers a workplace accident in a bankrupt industrial unit on Christmas Eve; a couple set out in the midst of a snowstorm to save a wounded owl; a motley crew of local volunteers comes together to search the river for a missing child. Borrowed for a Short Time is a collection of linked stories which blend fiction and creative non-fiction. Based on Keevil' s experiences of moving to mid Wales in his twenties, striving - sometimes failing - to fit into a new culture, the different narratives explore themes of isolation and belonging, love and longing, and what it means to call a place home.
Ranging from rural Wales to urban Vancouver, and featuring recurring characters whose lives and fates intertwine, this collection resonates with wisdom, warmth, and a rare, deceptively simple, honesty.
