Love Stories by New Women

Meer over het boek

"This startling collection of eighteen stories takes a long, intimate look--sometimes tough, often bemused, always riveting--at the private landscapes of women's lives. A bored mother falls in love with a bottle of vodka and finds her husband and daughter turning to the lady-next-door for love. A young woman begs an unwilling husband for a child, and their sex life becomes a battle of wits, as she finds a solution with the help of the couple upstairs. A virgin bride experiences a bizarre consummation on her wedding night, while her husband lies in their motel room alone."
