Review

"As enduring as the human yearning for love. These stories have the power to make us all feel a little less alone."

-- Lee Martin, author of The Bright Forever

"Where is love found? In familiar views and transplanted hearts; in monsoon season and on southbound trains; in ICUs and at dinner parties. These twenty-four stories by writers like Erika Krouse, Monica Wood, Charles Baxter, and Andre Dubus III remind us that love is found in unexpected places and, like the stories themselves, love resonates long after the connection is made."

-- Ann Hood, author of An Ornithologist's Guide to Life: Stories

Product Description

For more than a decade, the literary quarterly Glimmer Train has sought out and championed the most compelling short fiction written today, by both established luminaries and fresh new voices. This stunning new anthology probes the whole range of human relationships -- lovers, friends, family members, spouses, even one's beliefs and dreams.

In "Beneath the Earth of Her," acclaimed writer Karen E. Outen delicately probes the life of a loving, passionate married couple at odds over the prospect of having children. In "Gary Garrison's Wedding Vows," novelist Ron Carlson offers a poignant and delightful tale about a young woman who escapes the rigors of academia and finds love and purpose at a bird sanctuary in Utah. And in "The Marvelous Yellow Cage," O. Henry Award-winner Charlotte Forbes examines an elderly woman's relationships with her estranged children, her deceased husband, her loyal housekeeper, and a lifetime's accumulation of possessions. Stories by Quinn Dalton, Louise Erdrich, and a host of other writers dig deeply into the joys and sorrows of human connection -- enlarging our perspective and refining the language of the heart. Where Love Is Found is a valentine for literary lovers and a delicious treat for those who crave short fiction by some of today's finest writers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read!, Dec 21 2005

By Rebecca Cohen - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Where Love Is Found: 24 Tales of Connection (Paperback)

I love this anthology! From the very personal (and rather unusual) dedication by the editors through to the last page of the last story, the book is filled with characters who summon up the courage and compassion to meaningfully connect. It is clear that even in this often harsh world--and in spite of endless obstacles--our humanity survives. Where Love Is Found is a beauty.

Really made me think about life. How unpredictable it is, and how much generosity there is inside and out there. Good, good stories.
