From the Back Cover
The author of Thinning the Herd turns the spotlight on love and the crazy things we do in its name.
Inspired by the romantic misadventures she’s witnessed in her own family, Cynthia Ceilán takes us jauntily through real-life stories about love: what demented things we do in its name, the wildly unusual choices people make in their selection of a mate, and the joys and horrors of saying goodbye to a relationship that has long overstayed its welcome.
Here are some of the delightfully wicked secrets she reveals:
“Normal” is in the eye (and the bedsprings) of the beholder, especially when it comes to happily married conjoined twins—and the young man who falls in love with his guitar.
Many countries ban same-sex marriage, but a few are happy to let you marry your dog.
Condemned (male) homicidal maniacs get slews of marriage proposals from lovely ladies, but their female counterparts' only option is to marry each other.
Weirdly Beloved offers comforting proof that there is never only one way to fall in love, or one way to be properly married, or one way to suffer the indignities of love gone wrong.
