Overview
"Exquisite writer" (Julia Phillips), psychiatrist, and conjurer of the uncanny Joanna Pearson returns to the short story with virtuosic intensity, insight, and intimacy.
The stories in More Happy Love speak to the many faces of mid-life's quiet revolt. A psychiatrist meets her late husband's harshest critic, torn between insatiable lust and vengeance. A timid mother realizes that to save her daughter she must terrorize her. An audiologist begins discovering precious gemstones in the ears of her patients, a surreal mystery that unravels into something much darker. Across the collection, Pearson's characters grapple with secrets, regrets, and the lingering portraits of who they once were.
The mordant, sexy storytelling of More Happy Love is perfect for readers of Rebecca Lee, Joyce Carol Oates, and Yiyun Li, and its wounded, winning characters will leave readers craving more.
