But as she dove into French culture, buying food at local markets and taking classes at the Cordon Bleu, her life changed forever. Julia`s unforgettable story unfolds with the spirit so key to her success as a cook and teacher and writer, brilliantly capturing one of the most endearing American personalities of the last fifty...

A compulsive tale of betrayal and its impact upon a group of flatmates and lovers, Maggie O`Farrell`s second novel does not disappoint. With the sensuality, passion and emotional acuteness which characterised her debut, she has written a gripping exploration of the ambivalence at the heart of intimate relationships, a keenly observed portrayal of shifting metropolitan lives and a superbly imagined story of a haunting. When Lily moves into Marcus`s flat and plunges headlong into a relationship, she must contend not merely with the disapproval of flatmate Aidan, but with a more intangible, hostile presence.

"When it comes to love, there are a million theories to explain it", notes the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Middlesex in his introduction to this collection of love stories from literature. "But when it comes to love stories, things are simpler. A love story can never be about full possession. Love stories depend on disappointment, on unequal births and feuding families, on matrimonial boredom and at least one cold heart. Love stories, nearly without exception, give love a bad name." Here then are 27 such cures for lovesickness and antidotes to adultery - by Harold Brodkey, Grace Paley, William Faulkner, James Joyce, Milan Kundera, and Vladimir Nabokov.
A wide-ranging and eclectic collection of short stories on the theme of love in its various forms: romantic, erotic, impossible, undying and exhausted.
