A Lover's Question

How wonderful it is to find a collection of stories that speaks so directly to one's heart. The writing is masterful, the voice of the writer convincing and seductive, the tales contemporary, urban and authentic. Thomas Farber is a master of love stories; in each narrative of love found and lost, his truthfulness shines through."Go to him," Joni Mitchell says in her song, "But be prepared to bleed." This is what truth does to our heart, when we realize that we can never alter the course of time, stop the sorrow of death, rebuilt the life we left behind. But this book fills me with warmth and joy in the end -- a touch of grace, a sense of gratitude, a feeling of hope.
