Description
A great collection of short stories based on the theme of love read by Martin Jarvis and Rosalind Ayres.
These are not archetypal love stories full of sentimentality, but the clever, poignant, humorous and even romantic stories set in an age of chivalry and honour. There are aspects of humour and respect in Mr. & Mrs. Dove, love from afar in the poignant tale, Angela, and a woman clouded in mystery in The Sphinx...

Mary Gaitskill. Includes autobiographical stories and essays; selections from her letters, poems, and journals; photographs and drawings.
