Book Description
Love Sketches explores the sensuality of romance and the varieties and vagaries of love..Former colleagues, almost lovers, meet to discuss literature only to discover a yearning that rekindles their lost romance; teenagers infused with the early fl owering of romance struggle to maintain that romance against all odds; a young romantic learns a tragic lesson of love and redemption all too soon; an elderly professor devises a plan for one last try at romance; and amid an atmosphere rich in romance and sensuality two close friends reunite to reveal deep feelings theyve held for one another, feelings which went unnourished for those years they had convinced one another they were just friends. Book Review The fourteen stories in this collection bring us up close and personal with the many faces of love. These are more than sketches; these stories cover love's waterfront. The characters are ordinary, innocent, worldly and they are stopped short when they're tripped up by and succumb to love. The settings are varied - run-down apartment buildings, city offices, motel rooms, sleekly designed suburban homes, but the message is the same- regardless of age or class or means, love is acutely and intensely felt. There is romance but these are not simple romantic stories. The characters are complex, their lives are often adverse and conflicted, filled with guilt, anxiety and crises of conscience and there are no easy answers and few resolutions. The reader is sometimes forced to think beyond stereotypes- of age and class; we are often surprised by the turn of events, by sudden acts of tenderness. But the charge of love is everywhere, and the sensuality and sensuousness of the language is what stands out. There is a grace and lightness in the writing where a look, a touch, a sigh, a gesture between lovers allows the reader to be party to the ache and intimacy of the characters. Much is gleaned in these small gestures and much is left unsaid. Nature too plays a part- lovers walk through city parks, shelter under an umbrella in a rain shower, gaze out at lush trees though a huge glass window. The stories are suffused with longing and in some an air of melancholy pervades. In `Close Friends' two friends - `almost lovers' once- meet again and realise that love has held up after many years. In `Claire' a lonely wife prepares for a rendezvous with a man she doesn't even like in her desperate need for connection. This `dirty realist' story is played out against a backdrop of strip malls and dollar shops, but it is Claire's inner dialogue and longing for union with her husband that leaves the greatest impression. In `Bus Trip' and `The Graveyard of Romance' the sparse conversations and the minutiae of the daily lives of married couples are closely observed, and despite a lifetime of shared experiences and much compassion there is a palpable loneliness at the heart of these relationships. The Dance of Romance is a witty poignant glimpse of a 70 year Eng Lit professor as he comes to terms with the loss of his attractiveness to girls and women. `What I wanted was one last chance to push the pause button ...' In the perfectly paced story `A Long Romance' Dalton, a rich, middle- class, forty-something year old is captivated by Joleen, a young office girl. The reader is prepared to suspect his motives but for a while it is Joleen we mistrust. Their unlikely love is conveyed skilfully though Joleen's unique voice with her Southern dialect and colloquialisms and her utter honesty, and when the tears come they are killer tears. There is nothing precious or sentimental here, but it is achingly moving....`I can't believe somebody like you could happen to somebody like me.' The lovers in this collection are young, old, rich and poor, angry and vulnerable- love has indeed `many faces'. There are some happy endings but most of the characters are left to their uncertain lives, in sto

Book Description
Peter Daniels, a talented composer and pianist, is alone in the turbulent Paris of the 1950’s when Marie Gautier, an attractive translator and her charismatic boy friend, Jean-Claude Gubler, a radical young lawyer, befriend him. Working as he does in the demi-monde of illegal immigrants and left wing causes, Jean-Claude helps him find work replacing an American pianist who has broken his fingers in a fight in a jazz club. When the man is deported Peter moves into his flat and discovers a sheaf of unpublished but brilliant music. When Peter hears of the man’s suicide in an American jail, the music becomes both his treasure and his guilty secret. At the same time, the political and criminal forces that Jean-Claude opposes pursue them and destroy their relationship, forcing Peter to run for his emotional life back to a life with Hannah, his student girlfriend. Almost by accident, his illicit musical treasure trove makes him rich, but its source makes him secretive and this secrecy, along with his suspicious nature, threaten to break his marriage. Yet the music acts as a conduit to the past and try as he might, he cannot escape the spotlight it draws to him. Peter learns that just as events control his life, and his need for secrecy perverts it, and he worries that his past will destroy him before he can prove to himself his real worth as a musician.

An old man now, Benny sits in his tiny apartment in Riverside, California, stares at his bloody hands, and wonders if he is responsible for this carnage. How could he be? If women would only treat him like he deserves, then this would never happen. How many times has he warned them? Benny's mother always told him he was her special boy-the most talented and best-looking of all his friends. So why can't his wives and lovers treat him that way? As he struggles to understand the attack that has left him in a pool of his own blood, he recalls in detail the calculated torment he has inflicted upon those closest to him. This novel of psychological suspense, told across a shifting chronology, portrays the life of a slowly developing sociopath, the effects on his family and lovers, and the retribution he finally receives from the least likely of sources.
