The Stories in This Stunning, Prizewinning Debut Collection chart the uneven progress of love and lay bare the heartbreaking truths at the core of our closest bonds. Telling of subtle betrayals and sudden departures, legacies that cannot be escaped and dreams that will never be realized, these spare, haunting tales uncannily capture who we are, how we live, why we feel and act as we do -- as mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, daughters and sons -- and in so doing cast brilliant fresh light on family life today.
