The Library of Sighs

Love, the force that sustains life, holds up the pages of this book of short stories. A librarian’s practical affection for her new assistant; a young woman coming to terms with her mother not loving her; two wives struggling with the memory of an unfaithful and bigamous husband; an elderly woman whose heart retains a soft spot for her park friends even as her limbs are ravaged by illness; despairing love, unrequited feelings, an illicit affair … The love for life infuses hope, energy and joy in these stories that draw you into the heart and soul of characters that are palpably real and ethereal.
