Publisher Notes
A collection of short stories that explores the theme of love and intimacy journeys inside the relationships between men and women, both in and out of marriage, suggesting that it is within these relationships that our entire sense of right and wrong is enacted.
Media Reviews
"The stories' readability is partly in their basic voyeuristic appeal...and partly from Ford's mastery of narrative pace. He knows how to hold back on a good twist, produce a shock in an insulated life. Even if, here, the twists and shocks are too often of the animal variety....[T]he constraints of the short story [make] his handling of people terser, thinner, than ever, lives reduced to the barest handful of details...."
