Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. First Edition. The stories in this collection, diverse in form, style and content, all deal, at some level, with aspects of this 'inexpressible state indicated by four letter', and of its loss. I did not want to confine myself to romantic love only, nor to stories in which love and loss is the overt subject matter (although in several of the stories it is). Love, I was reminded while I was reading for this book, can be as powerful an absence as it is a presence: never to have know love, never to have given or received it, never to have experienced its joys or suffered it pains - this is probably the worst loss of all. Crease on page 211.We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).

Boards. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. First Edition. Here is the subterfuge and yearning of an illicit relationship, the intolerable oppression of summer in the face of a loved one's death and a mother who obscures her loneliness with irascible complaints to her son. Alongside stories of love's frailties are those shadowed by lost opportunities, lingering regrets and the bruising of age. This seductive collection brings together some of the foremost women writers of this century. Whether devastating or poignant, or glistening with wry humour, these stories reach into the corners of the heart. Slight wear and tear to D/J.
