Few writers evoke the complexities of love as subtly, and few capture the poignancy of the sudden insight or the rhythms of ordinary conversation with such delicacy and humor. To read these twelve stories—of love and loss, of families and strangers, of small moments and enormous epiphanies—is to be reminded again of the power of short fiction to thrill and move us, to make us laugh, or cry. In these profound glimpses into the private fears, joys, and sorrows of people we know, we find revealed a whole range of human experience, told with extraordinary force, clarity, and compassion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper Perennial","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43368167571711,"sku":"9780060930707","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780060930707_s600x595.jpg?v=1774894579","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780060930707","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
