Synopsis: Fifteen deftly crafted stories from the award-winning author of The Jazz Palace, &“a marvelous storyteller&” (Chicago Tribune Books). Acclaimed author Mary Morris takes us to a Greek village, Cape Canaveral, South America, New York City in the heat of August—and into the heads and hearts of characters coming to know a bit more about their worlds. A Panamanian girl searches for her beautiful sister; a typewriter reveals unspoken secrets to a vacationing couple; the employees of a copy shop long for the lives of their customers. Morris&’s wistful, knowing style and her grasp of the tiny elements that mark the turning points in relationships make her stories resonate with lingering emotional truths. Praise for Mary Morris&’s The Jazz Palace: &“There is a reason I have always called Mary Morris my writing mentor: she taught me everything I know; and here is the living proof.&” —Jodi Picoult, New York Times–bestselling author
