Product Description

In this sensuous, funny, and heartbreaking new book, Amy Bloom explores the unexpected patterns that all forms of love and loss weave into our lives. With her dazzling prose, strong voice, and unmistakable and generous wit, this award-winning author takes us to the margins and centers of real people's lives, introducing us to some of her most unforgettable characters yet.

A young woman struggles to come to terms with her roommate's murder; a man and his daughter-in-law confess their sins in the most unlikely of places. In one set of interlocking stories, two middle-aged friends, married to others, find themselves surprisingly, comically drawn to one another, risking all for all and never underestimating the costs. In another, we follow a mother and son for thirty years as their small and uncertain family becomes an irresistible tribe.

I almost gave up on the book, because the start of first story I found a bit depressing. It seemed like a story of "pensioner sex" and I just did not want to read about it. Then the pace and interest in the first story picked up, as it did with the rest of the book.

The stories are about real people in the real US and the characters are interesting, hateful or loveable or just real.

Some stories are almost novellas, and they are all worth reading. Sometimes I had to reread sentences because who is doing what is not always explictly stated, I had to work a bit harder than normal. But that might just be me.

A very interesting collection of short stories, about love and relationships. Subtle, very well-written, it makes you read it in a few days. Loved it!

I'm not - or hadn't been until I read this - a fan of short story collections (one-offs I like...). So this took me utterly by surprise! Often when writing is so well-crafted it loses emotion. However both were in abundance in this collection - so much so that I immediately sought out her entire back-catalogue. This book is just beautiful.
