A collection of short stories and essays revolving around the darker side of love, viewed from many angles: the self-love of a prostitute, a middle-aged woman who returns to an unhappy marriage after twenty years to nurse her dying husband, disillusion and gender betrayal under the elms of a prestigious university… but all is not lost, for there is beauty too, even in the darkest heart of love.
