Love, sex, art, literature, wars, religion, wine, spirit, the steam engine and, yes, Eurostar: they are all there. All the emotions, attitudes, pursuits and endeavours that typically seem to link Britain to France feature in this collection of short stories.
Barnes' particular way of looking at life, at words, at relationships is quite unique. Reading these stories, you perceive and love France afresh...'Cross Channel' is full of the intelligence, irony and wit you associate with Barnes' writing, but it is also suffused with feeling, deeply seasoned with affection.
