Review
"The Big Issue" (London)
Tactile and unfussy, these yarns come over like some north-of-the-border Raymond Carver -- brilliantly catching the tiny triumphs, big decisions and bumping let-downs of an assortment of everyday, flesh-and-blood protagonists....A beautifully wrought gem.

Product Description
In her latest collection of stories, Janice Galloway turns her unflinching gaze on relationships: the struggle to love against the odds, the overpowering yearning to communicate, and the extraordinary epiphanies where the World falls away leaving only the lovers. Love is, of course, where you find it, and it is here in an evening walk across a London bridge, a chip-shop pizza, Derek's mouth, or ham sandwiches cut into hearts. A brilliant observer of human frailty and tenderness, Janice Galloway examines the moments where lives split like a stone, where people are healed or broken by a word or the touch of a hand. Savagely accurate, vivid and unsentimental, these are painstakingly crafted stories: engaging, caustic, funny and terrifyingly true.
