"In a London restaurant, at their first meeting, in the midst of casual conversation, a young woman dining with a famous man becomes aroused by him, obsessed by him, and totally commits herself to him. He becomes the Love Object on whom she focuses emotional hungers impossible to assuage. The telling of their love affair powerfully sounds the theme of Edna O'Brien's new book. Each story has at its center the 'object' on which we obsessively fasten our longings, expecting of it a magical fulfillment. This lover will forever banish loneliness. This long-anticipated party will open up new worlds of romance. This coveted piece of furniture in the store window has only to be brought home and our drab lives will be transformed. The moods and settings vary; the evocation of longing is always there." Purchase with confidence: all books, gradings and descriptions are rendered the care of a genuine bibliophile. Satisfaction guaranteed or all costs you've incurred will be promptly refunded. Thanks for your interest in Nooks Of Books. X03-B.
