SUMMARY
The twelve stories in Ann Harleman's second fiction collection span a century (from 1911 to the present) and range over two continents. Her characters confront love and loss--heartbreak, adultery, divorce, chronic degenerative illness, disability, and death--within a context of political and social upheaval. Their personal battles are intensified by the trials of their times: the onset of World War I, Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union, the Iron Curtain, the Cold War, the urban warfare in America's inner cities, 9/11. Despite their often dire circumstances, Harleman's characters manage to find moments of light and grace.Harleman, Ann is the author of 'Thoreau's Laundry ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780870745133 and ISBN 0870745131.
