A young mother, a psychologist with Children's Aid, takes a solitary holiday to regroup. Despite the attitude of some of her fellow guests who are uneasy with her solo presence, she manages to pull the pieces back together again. The short story collection Poached Egg On Toast showcases Itani's ability to shine a clear light on what it feels like to be an outsider, displaced and disconnected from the world at hand, and how a single, small moment can cause a seismic shift in our emotional landscape. Wickedly funny and unbearably sad, Itani's stories leave us with a renewed sense of humanity.
