A.L. Kennedy's fifth collection of short stories show us exactly
what becomes of the broken-hearted. Her characters are perfectly
ordinary people - whose marriages founder; who sit on their own in
a cinema watching a film with no soundtrack; who risk sex in a
hotel with an anonymous stranger or who order a luxurious meal as
their lives fall apart - but the stories she weaves around them are
truly remarkable. She reveals the sadness, violence, hurt and
terror, but also the redemption and the love - and she does so with
enormous human compassion and leaps of black humour. From the
winner of the Costa Book Award for Day.
