In her latest collection of stories Janice Galloway turns her unflinching gaze on relationships: the struggle to love against the odds the overpowering yearning to communicate and the extraordinary epiphanies where the World falls away leaving only the lovers. Love is of course where you find it and it is here in an evening walk across a London bridge a chip-shop pizza Derek's mouth or ham sandwiches cut into hearts. A brilliant observer of human frailty and tenderness Janice Galloway examines the moments where lives split like a stone where people are healed or broken by a word or the touch of a hand. Savagely accurate vivid and unsentimental these are painstakingly crafted stories: engaging caustic funny and terrifyingly true.
