Short stories from the acclaimed British novelist who “writes unflinchingly about family life, divorce, children, and the ups and downs of relationships” (The Independent). Witty, insightful, and keenly observant, the stories in Fool for Love revel in the complexities of modern relationships. From the joys and trials of marriage to the thrill of escaping into an illicit affair to mothers managing recalcitrant teens—or worse, adult children who unexpectedly return to the nest at mid-life—each revelatory tale is told in the wise and darkly humorous voice that is Deborah Moggach’s trademark. Containing stories previously unpublished in book form, this collection confirms Moggach’s place as one of our finest observers of human life. “Quirky, sassy, well-crafted . . . Moggach at her best.” —Times Literary Supplement “What informs Moggach’s excellent stories is not just the exactness of her observation, but the quality of warmth and affection.” —Sunday Times
