Whether they are set in the Italian countryside or suburban Connecticut, the stories deal with real people and real problems.In the title piece, a young widow is surprised and ashamed by her lack of grief for her husband.In "A Place in the Country," a young woman has a passionate, guilty affair with her cousin's husband. In "Harold," a gawky, lonely young man finds acceptance and respect through his poetry. Moving and evocative, these ten stories are written with subtlety, humor, and a keen understanding of the relationships between men and women.
