Synopsis

Love stories are not always about hearts and flowers. In this deliciously different celebration of love, romance is all about having a good row (and not always having to say you're sorry). From trivial everyday quarrels, such as a dispute over a bride's new hat in Dorothy Parker's 'Here We Are' and an argument about whether to close the screen door in Lydia Davis's 'Disagreement', to more serious arguments where the truth is in doubt, such in Raymond Carver's 'Intimacy', relationships of every kind - devoted, comfortable, passionate, intimate, bad-tempered - are here.

Reviews

Critic Review:

'So hurrah for Ali Smith and Kasia Boddy, who have taken this most unfertile territory and made it bloom'
Times

'This selection of love quarrels ... will strike a chord with couples of all ages'
Daily Express - Valentines day recommendation.

'A refreshingly different celebration of love ... that will surely gladden the heart of the saddest single staying home alone with an M&S dinner-for-one this valentine's night'
Sunday Tribune (The Arts)

'Diverting and unusual collection, in which the familiar keep company with a few welcome strangers'
Sunday Herald
