Publisher Description

In these tales of loss and pleasure, lovers and family, a woman learns to conduct an affair, a child of divorce dances with her mother, and a woman with a terminal illness contemplates her exit.

Filled with the sharp humor, emotional acuity, and joyful language Moore has become famous for, these nine glittering tales marked the introduction of an extravagantly gifted writer.

“[A] contemplative, wryly humorous narration…Oppenheimer deftly endows the protagonists’ voices with more than a touch of dry humor. Her insightful narration…employs varied tones to differentiate multiple characters, adding nuance and making the interactions sound realistic. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”
