Book Overview

by Joy Williams (Author)

A collection of "uncommonly good stories" (The Chicago Tribune) from a true American master of the short story--disturbing, comic, and moving takes that find deeper meanings in ordinary domestic life.

With unforgettable characters, places, and events--a young divorcee, a shared summer home, a troubled family, a wedding, the death of a pet--Williams takes her readers on journey after journey, as only she can.
