A wealth of surprises and contrasts, this collection ranges from the lyricism of \"Weather,\" in which a couple's life is thrown into chaos when the National Association of Meteorologists goes on strike, to the swampy sexuality of \"Eros,\" in which a room in a Parisian hotel on the verge of ruin is the catalyst for passion, to the brave confidence of \"A Scarf\"-new for this collection-which chronicles the realities of a fledging author's book tour. Playful, graceful, acutely observed, and generous of spirit, these stories will delight her devoted fans and win her new converts as well.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47049226060016,"sku":"9780141001913","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780141001913_p0.jpg?v=1769913962","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780141001913","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
