Not every tale ends in misery, however. "A Very Nice Dog" traces the beginning of a relationship, not the end. In "The Islands," a widow becomes involved with a man who is very different from her late husband. "I thought that Slater's very differences from Andrew should be a good sign. You're supposed to look for opposites, not reproductions, I read somewhere." The death of a beloved cat, however, makes her rethink her motives: "Whyever should I seek out the opposite of a person I truly loved?" Lost love is an overarching theme in The Last Lovely City, but this somber subject matter is leavened by Adams's ironical voice and her deceptively simple prose. --Alix Wilber
