A solitary woman, her life changed by an afternoon of 'wanting,
wanting, wanting', becomes obsessed with a writer at his desk by
the window below. A nameless, middle-aged narrator, his sexuality
awakened by the manipulative mother of a classmate, looks back to
that hot summer in the 'Garden of Eden', where young lives were
changed and ruined. And Lennie-girl's father, craving the warmth of
his birthplace, forsakes his daughter and vulnerable son. Three
stories from a nineteen-story collection in which themes of love
and loss, break up and renewal, pleasures and regrets, weave in and
out of the lives of protagonists whose ages range from thirteen to
sixty-something.
