Death looms in these four sparkling novellas--thus the book's sly
title--but until then there's the wonder of life. Frank's subjects
include fascinating friendships and complicated marriages, awful parties
and odd enthusiasm. Bonus: song mentions that add up to a terrifically
eclectic playlist." --Kim Hubbard, People Magazine
In her quartet of novellas, Joan Frank invites readers into the inner
lives of characters bewildered by love, grief, and inexplicable
affinities.
A young couple navigates a strange friendship and unexpected pregnancy;
a woman recalls the bizarre fallout of her former lover's fame; a lonely
widow is drawn to an arrogant young man; a wealthy spiritual seeker
grapples with what wealth cannot affect. Witty and humane, Frank taps
the riches of the novella form as she writes of loneliness, friendship,
loss, and the filaments of intimacy that connect us through time.
