NEWS:Montana Public Radio InterviewClick HERE to listen... "In her first collection, novelist Ward (Forgive Me, 2008, etc.) gently and discreetly invites us into her characters’ lives. The author’s quiet, understated stories pack a paradoxical punch... Luminous work from a gifted writer." -- Kirkus "Ward's powerful first collection (after three novels) travels from Montana to Saudi Arabia, tackling love, terrorism and grave matters of the heart...The way Ward balances ruefulness and hope is singularly impressive." -- Publisher's Weekly “The stories here move effortlessly between the personal and thepolitical, weaving the larger terrors of our time-war, disease, mayhem-into the fabric of the everyday. The public life is given emotional weight and meaning, and the world looks a little different after reading these stories, brighter and more dangerous. A fine, precise collection.” —Kevin Canty “Though the sharp-witted young women in Amanda Eyre Ward’s beautiful stories all live in the present day, their struggles for love and family are the stuff of classic literature.” —Vendela Vida “With her dazzling new collection, Love Stories in This Town, Amanda Eyre Ward proves once again that she knows just where to strike: the heart, the mind, and the funny bone." —Michelle Richmond "Love Stories in This Town is one part Chekhov, one part Patsy Cline, all told with a confident, hip-cocking charm that’s completely her own. I flat out loved these stories.” —Justin Cronin Click here to join the facebook group for LOVE STORIES IN THIS TOWN and receive behind-the-scenes stories and news updates. |
