More about the book

Exploring themes of love, loss, and moral ambiguity, these short stories traverse diverse settings from New York City to East Germany. Characters confront their limitations with humor and dignity, such as Lorraine, who ponders her German lover's choices amid the Berlin Wall's fall, and a pregnant woman grappling with motherhood's constraints. In another tale, a young adulteress faces judgment from her morally questionable family. Each narrative delves into the complexities of human relationships and societal expectations.
