Holmes offers us a tale of three generations of women, where grandmother, mother, and daughter have all kept secrets that the others must try to uncover. And it is a scrapbook of a missing lover from the past that exemplifies how absence and a lack of closure can shape a person's life.

Yup, you read that right. The Nobel-Prize-winning Canadian author has given us a new selection of some of her most beloved stories. Here we find stories that "illuminate the quotidian yet extraordinary particularity in the lives of men and women, parents and children, friends and lovers as they discover sex, fall in love, part, quarrel, suffer defeat, set off into the unknown, or find a way to be in the world."
