  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.

  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, a pregnant daughter for the mother who must never know, Derek's mouth ('good kissers don't grow on trees'), or ham sandwiches cut into hearts. There is the terrible love of the children, the love of men for women and women for men, the love of strangers for each other, the loves of the lost, the abandoned, and the better left alone. 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, moving again through the depths of silence, power and dependency, these are painstakingly crafted stories: engaging, causitc, funny and terrifyingly true.
