‘Ford’s sheer mastery of the short-story form is jaw-dropping’
Guardian
‘Ten sexy, grown-up stories about marriage and adultery, passion and infidelity, disappointment and revenge. Ford is a smooth master of his art’ Financial Times
With perhaps his fiercest intensity to date, Richard Ford, America’s most unflinching chronicler of modern life, is drawn to amorous relationships inside, out and to the sides of marriage. In these extraordinary stories all human relations, our entire sense of right and wrong, are put into vivid and unforgettable play.
‘Ford’s is the voice of twentieth-century America; funny, human, sad and real’ Eileen Battersby, Irish Times
‘Now in its full maturity, his writing rolls and twists with complexities and sadness and humour; his characters may not often have lives they call their own, but his sentences always do’ Observer
