Book 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.
