Description

These highly acclaimed stories are fierce and surprising. A bus ride in Nepal; a wedding on the shore of Quidi Vidi Lake; a husband's memory of an early piercing love affair; a mother and her infant boy. Always the telling gesture, these stories handcuff the truth; they offer the reasons to leave and the reasons to stay. They demand: open.

Reviews

'Moore's talent is staggering, her images arresting, her dialogue, particularly between men and women, needle-to-the-eye sharp' Macleans *'Moore's stories are full of nerve and verve? perceptive and wonderful.' National Post
