Summary

Winner of an AudioFile Earphones Award

A New York Times Pick of Best Books You Can Read in a Day

In these tales of loss and pleasure, lovers and family, a woman learns to conduct an affair, a child of divorce dances with her mother, and a woman with a terminal illness contemplates her exit.

Filled with the sharp humor, emotional acuity, and joyful language Moore has become famous for, these nine glittering tales marked the introduction of an extravagantly gifted writer.

Editorial Reviews

“Trenchant, funny tales…of the chronically out-of-sync relations between American men and women.” —People

“Fine, funny, and very moving pictures of contemporary life… [from] a writer of enormous talent.” —New York Times

“Sharp, flicking, on-target…The work of a sorcerer’s apprentice. Moore casts a cruel, mischievous spell.” —Vanity Fair

“A funny, cohesive, and moving collection of stories.” —New York Times Book Review

“Moore is so good at trapping each moment in perfect, precise detail, so masterful at cynicism and wryness that her moments of poignancy and sweetness catch us completely off guard.” —San Francisco Chronicle

“[A] contemplative, wryly humorous narration…Oppenheimer deftly endows the protagonists’ voices with more than a touch of dry humor. Her insightful narration…employs varied tones to differentiate multiple characters, adding nuance and making the interactions sound realistic. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” —AudioFile
