Publisher's Synopsis
At the heart of this radical new collection of short stories from award-winning writer Nuala Ni Chonchuir is an exploration of the pain and pleasure of love: sexual love, romantic love, the love between parents and their children.
Expanding on the themes of her first short fiction collection, The Wind Across the Grass, her focus in these stories is on the events that cause relationships to fail. Set against a backdrop of contemporary Ireland, and Europe of the past and present, they are brimming with sensuality, art, secrets, and loss.
