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 show more 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. show lessTags

A collection of short stories that are sometimes unsatisfactory, because of their shortness. However, they are all very emotional.
