The first story collection from the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Memory Keeper's DaughterWith The Memory Keeper's Daughter, Kim Edwards touched hearts across the nation. In this, her first collection of stories—now with three new stories added—she explores the lives of those who exist on the fringes of society: a fire-eater, an American and his Korean war bride, Madame Curie's maid, and others. Though their tales vary dramatically, each comes up against the barriers of place and circumstance in the most universal of experiences: the quest to discover and understand the elusive mysteries of love. Transporting readers to exotic locations, this beautiful collection reinforces Edwards's presence as an extraordinarily gifted writer.
