Marriages and Other Dilemmas de Kitty Beer

Marriages and Other Dilemmas

Autor Kitty Beer
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 apr 2022
Marriages and Other Dilemmas, by Kitty Beer, balances 16 short stories with a 50 page memoir. With heroines of every age, the stories are dynamic, dark, sexy, and humorous, and the frank and open memoir adds insight to the experience. In the stories, she explores consequential events in the lives of ordinary people, revealing her love for life and the idiosyncrasies that make life profoundly interesting. Crisp writing and a jaunty tone take the reader on a journey to the outer edges of desire, love and revenge. In her memoir, Beer takes an honest and insightful look back on her life, filled with "mistakes, thrills, fears, bliss, and delusion," overcoming the grief of misfortune with good nature and resoluteness. While Beer's trio of thriller novels reflect on her passion for the environment, Marriages and Other Dilemmas skillfully reflects on her personal life and observations of the world around her.
