Opis

Spanning five decades of writing, 'The Love Object' takes the most memorable and successful stories from collections like 'A Scandalous Woman' and 'Saints and Sinners'; stories that have bewitched generation after generation. Here you will find stories about families, feuds, love and land, enchantment, disenchantment, and throughout, the manifold bonds of love.
