The men and women in Elizabeth Tallent's stories think a great deal about love. They argue about it at the dinner table. They cling to it with talismans. They flirt with strangers or moon impossibly over aunts and cousins. InHoney, Elizabeth Tallent animates her characters' predicaments and charts the wild arcs of their longings with breathtaking grace and profound emotional truth. From the Trade Paperback edition.
There are some books that are perfect to read on gloomy days when you're feeling lonesome and this is one of them. Every story is perfect; a small visit with someone you would like to know whose life is in quiet turmoil just edged with hope. Her prose is perfect and compassionate, every detail just right, every word right where it should be. She's a fabulous writer and I'm so sorry to see that her other books are out-of-print!
