Description
There are as many love stories as there are people in the world. Each person and each story is unique. For centuries the theme of love has held a special fas- cination for the writer of short sto- ries, and with each new addition to the genre a fresh and equally com- pelling aspect of love is revealed.
In this engaging collection of love stories, a host of widely known and widely divergent authors ruminate on the many facets of love. The observations of Edith Wharton, Ivan Turgenev, and Colette appear, as do the reflections of modern authors like John Updike, Catherine Cookson, and Rosamunde Pilcher. In these stories we find the sweet- ness of rose-tinted romance hover- ing around the sourness of love betrayed. We revel in both love in bloom and love mellowing in an autumn affair. Each of these beauti- fully crafted and atmospheric short stories demonstrates the power of ageless love.
