Who Do You Love: Stories
Jean Thompson
In this acclaimed collection, Jean Thompson limns the lives of ordinary people—a lonely social worker, a down-and-out junkie, a divorced cop on the night shift—to extraordinary effect. With wisdom and sympathy and spare eloquence, she writes of their inarticulate longings for communion and grace.Yet even the saddest situations are imbued with Thompson’s characteristic humor and a wry glimmer of hope. With Who Do You Love, readers will discover a writer with rare insight into the resiliency of the human spirit and the complexities of love.
