A couple plays out the final moments of a fading love, while an old man sets out to rekindle an enduring love from long ago.This is an outstanding collection of short fiction from an award-winning Tasmanian writer. Using a poets's ear and a photographer's eye, Kathryn Lomer infuses her writing with a distinctive irony and an intuitive understanding of the human experience. Australian author.
