If Peterson's characters show more edges and life than most people, it's because they're unable to forget they are dying. The bracing clarity of their vision awakens everyone around them. Peterson's imagination is bold, her craft sure, and her stories fully of our time. A deeply moving collection by a powerful talent.--Askold Melnyczuk, author of Ambassador of the Dead "It's been a long time since I read a collection as strong, stirring, and surprising as Women in the Grove. From the quiet sorrow of a discarded wife in 'Africa,' to the wary and sassy mother in 'Big Brother,'and the carefully successful doctor who takes up with a careless Russian beauty in 'The Woman in the Long Green Coat,' these characters defy easy categories. Each life is tied in some way to AIDS-but thrillingly the true adventure here is the strength of the human heart. Paula Peterson is a dazzling writer." --Marcie Hershman, author of Safe in America and Speak to Me: Grief, Love and What Endures "There is a sweet, sad surprise in the best of these stories, and a sense that just behind the chaos of the moment, if we listen, we can hear the old songs being sung. Paula Peterson has strong instincts and she trusts them. Women in the Grove is a smart, confident collection."--Sven Birkerts, author of The Gutenberg Elegies "Paula Peterson's stories remind us that we are equal parts despair and hope, confusion and faith, fragility and strength, that even the interrupted life possesses the capacity for grace."--Sabina Murray, author of The Caprices , winner of the 2003 PEN/Faulkner Award "From the collection's hopeful opening with 'A Miracle'...to its painfully beautiful conclusion in 'Song of Camille,' Peterson faultlessly captures the rhythms of African-American speech and the reality of life at the bottom of American society without ever condescending to her subjects. These are tough, intelligent women...'Song of Camille' is the masterpiece here, a breathtaking blend of humor, fury, and sorrow that realistically reminds us there are no unmixed happy endings . . . but also conveys a piercingly moving sense of hope. Twenty years into the epidemic, a work with something truly new to say about AIDS; that's quite an achievement."-- Kirkus Reviews, starred review

This seller is great! It arrived days before I expected it; it was wrapped very carefully. The item (book) is as described and I'm very happy with my purchase. They had the option to "make an offer", which I did, and they accepted. I would recommend this seller!
