Opis

This book has nine lives. Nine female lives. Nine women at different stages of their lives, facing various problems of varying magnitudes. Join them on their journeys... See what sisterhood really means to a hopefully optimistic ten-year-old in The Girl Who Would Be King. Learn just how many times the course of true love fails to run smoothly in Together, Apart, before discovering what Stephen King has to do with one young woman's passionate summer fling in Locked-up Lovers. In Balloons you can lie on a beach with a mother-to-be who is thinking about the men she has loved and lost, and in That's What I Want to Say you learn all the things one woman wants to say but rightly or wrongly, she doesn't. It's Just a Smile is all about one activity many women enjoy, people watching, and Leaving Rotterdam takes you back over 130 years to a time when women were seen and not heard... at least in public. And finally, you will discover how age truly strengthens a woman when a widow's heart tries to heal in The Pink Flowers, and when good and bad memories are revisited in Tell Me a Story. Nine Women: Short Stories is a collection of moving stories which takes a long, slow look at what it means to be born a woman, to grow up as a woman and to live a variety of lives as a woman.
