I Knew You'd Be Lovely: Stories

by Alethea Black

Book Overview

"What smart, memorable, inventive stories these are--skilled, insightful, full of heart."--Joan Silber, author of Ideas of Heaven

Alethea Black's deeply moving and wholly original debut features a coterie of memorable characters who have reached emotional crossroads in their lives. Brimming with humor, irony, and insights about the unpredictable nature of life, the unbearable beauty of fate, and the power that one moment, or one decision, can have to transform us, I Knew You'd Be Lovely delivers that rare thing--stories with both an edge and a heart.

Customer Reviews

This book is not as well known as it should be. It's wonderful, each story feels like unwrapping a piece of sweet candy that you can only have every once in a while.
