Description

A uniquely insightful short story collection with huge appeal to women of all ages. To quote from David Sedaris: 'It's the sort of book that leads to late night phone calls. "I know you're busy sleeping or whatever, but wait, I just want to read you this one passage-" You might peg Jincy Willett as a satirist but her stories are slipperier than that. Yes, they're often funny, but there's something else at work here... Jincy Willett excels in the moment, that split second when everything changes... .' These are stories that must be read - read one, and you won't stop till you've read them all.
