The seven stories collected here--including "Killings," the basis for Todd Field’s award-winning film "In the Bedroom"--showcase legendary writer Andre Dubus’s sheer narrative mastery in a book of quietly staggering emotional power.

A young woman who has never lacked lovers despairs of ever finding love itself, and then makes an accidental discovery that brings her real joy. Culled from Dubus’s treasured collections Selected Stories and Dancing After Hours, these beautiful stories of people at pivotal moments in their lives are some of the most bewitching and profound in American fiction.
