Book Description
These fourteen stories by acclaimed poet Patricia Young explore the small victories and lurching disappointments, losses and betrayals of the everyday with a language and style that is anything but. A woman who cannot leave her house loses everything, her only companion a garrulous radio talk show host; a house fire sets into motion the end of a relationhip. Innocence is a constant theme here, and the loss of it, but there are handled with humour and compassion coupled with a fearless honesty that will leave you heartbroken.
Review
This collection of stories from Young, a prolific, award-winning B.C. poet, is a quietly assured wonder. It's a book of parts that integrate into an artistic whole, parts linked not by characters or plot but by a way of knowing and showing the world. Young gives us love and folly and pain and the unending mystery of women and men, boys and girls, with a nuance and balance suggesting Alice Munro, and with echoes of the same wisdom. --The Globe and Mail
