Oskar and Eli. In very different ways, they were both victims. Which is why, against the odds, they became friends. And how they came to depend on one another, for life itself. Oskar is a 12 year old boy living with his mother on a dreary housing estate at the city's edge. He dreams about his absentee father, gets bullied at school, and wets himself when he's frightened. Eli is the young girl who moves in next door. She doesn't go to school and never leaves the flat by day. She is a 200 year old vampire, forever frozen in childhood, and condemned to live on a diet of fresh blood. John Ajvide Lindqvist's novel is a unique and brilliant fusion of social novel and vampire legend, a deeply moving fable about rejection, friendship and loyalty.

Love stories are not always about hearts and flowers. In this deliciously different celebration of love, romance is all about having a good row (and not always having to say you`re sorry). From trivial everyday quarrels, such as a dispute over a bride`s new hat in Dorothy Parker`s `Here We Are` and an argument about whether to close the screen door in Lydia Davis`s `Disagreement`, to more serious arguments where the truth is in doubt, such in Raymond Carver`s `Intimacy`, relationships of every kind - devoted, comfortable, passionate, intimate, bad-tempered - are here.
