Love. In her new collection of stories,Jackie Kay explores every aspect of this most overwhelming and
complicated of human emotions, exposing the moments of tenderness, shock,bravery and remorse that accompany its pursuit,its passions, its passing.
A woman remembers her nights of lust through a litany of motel-room numbers.Another loves her wild, beautiful daughter enough to let her
go.A stranger confesses the tragedy of her jealousy to her companion on the night train.And two men caught in a mist on top of the world survive against the odds.
Capturing her characters in their moments of greatest joy as well as their greatest vulnerability,Kay brings the chaotic experience of love into sharp focus.In her unique style,simultaneously fierce and delicate,she tells this oldest, most
universal of stories in the newest and freshest of ways.
