A cemetery is not just a place to bury bodies, it's also a place to bury secrets.
Who would have thought that a little brown jug used by visitors to carry water to the graves of their loved ones was listening to every word they spoke? Sometimes the words were heartfelt memories of happy times, sometimes they were secrets spoken in the mistaken supposition that no one could hear them.
It is these very conversations and confessions that power the varied and intriguing collection of short stories within this book.
