The ten stories in this striking debut collection examine the perils of love and what it means to live during an era when people will offer themselves, almost unthinkingly, to strangers. Risks and repercussions are never fully weighed. People leap and almost always land on rocky ground. MayDecember romances flourish in these stories, as do selfdoubt and, in many cases, serious regret.
