"What sad, appalling, and surprising things people do in the name of love, and for the sake of love. These short stories give us love won and love lost, love revenged, love thron away, love in triumph, love in despair. It might be love between men and women, children and parents, eben humans and cats; but whichever it is, love is a force to be reckoned with."--Back cover.
