The Secret Lives of People in Love
by Simon Van Booy
by Simon Van Booy
Beautiful, haunting stories that show the beauty of love in all its forms. Some of these spare, finely realized tales are melancholy, others are joyous. Van Booy's prose approaches poetry in many places. I found myself underlining certain lines to remember them, such as "It's tempting to imagine how we could hurt someone close, because it reminds us how fiercely we love them." These are the kinds of stories you want to come back to again.
