Sinopsis:
Everybody Loves Somebody. At a seaside wedding in 1919, a doting uncle observes the happy couple while his errant brother - the father of the bride - struggles to free himself from a locked bathroom. A young woman new to Jazz Age New York strikes up a dangerous relationship with her boss. Two old women gamble with a diplomat who counts General Franco as his friend. An apartment building burns. Children are lost. Children are found. A single character experiences life in multiple versions. And everybody keeps looking for somebody to love. Joanna Scott's unparalleled gift for storytelling is on full display in this exuberant, imaginative collection. Exploring tangled emotions and spanning the twentieth century, these tales capture the breathtaking tension found even in life's quietest moments. |
