Recenzii

'Wisecracking, whip-smart, and utterly beguiling, "Love Stories in this Town" is one part Chekhov, one part Patsy Cline, all told with a confident, hip-cocking charm that's completely her own. I flat out loved these stories.' Justin Cronin 'Amanda Eyre Ward proves once again that she knows just where to strike: the heart, the mind, and the funny bone. Ward tackles the fears of our contemporary collective consciousness -- terrorism, war in Iraq -- with the same compassion, intelligence, and spot-on insight that she brings to the domestic front -- infertility, familial troubles, failed love.' Michelle Richmond 'New mothers, young brides, jilted lovers, devoted wives. What roles do women choose, what paths do they take when falling in and out of love? [In] a collection of 12 lustrous short stories!each is a testament to the ambiguity young women face in their desire for love!they offer a mesmerizing, read-in-one-sitting foray into the complexities of contemporary love.' Carol Haggas
