Anthology of brief "prose poems" by Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941), first published in 1928. Tagore wrote: "Fireflies had their origin in China and Japan where thoughts were very often claimed from me in my hand-writing on fans and pieces of silk." Tagore may have been influenced by Japanese haiku poetry. "Fireflies" has also been described as a collection of meditations.

Alexandra Morton has a special gift - she can tell instantly when two people are meant for each other. She knew the moment she met her husband, Gil, that he was the man for her and never once in twenty-five years of marriage has he let her down. Then Gil is wrongly accused of molesting a woman in the office and, unable to prove his innocence, he is sacked. With her husband's confidence in tatters and her family facing hostility from locals, Lex must pick up the pieces of their shattered lives. Struggling to make ends meet, Lex realises it's time for a change. She must go out to work and where better than at Leiceister's local marriage bureau? With Lex's talent for matchmaking, love soon blossoms among the clients and business goes from strength to strength. But only when Gil's name is cleared and he can once again walk proud will Lex be truly happy.
