Items related to Where You Find it
In her latest collection of stories, Janice Galloway turns her unflinching gaze on relationships: the struggle to love against the odds, the overpowering yearning to communicate, and the extraordinary epiphanies where the world falls away leaving only the lovers. Love is, of course where you find it, and it is here in an evening walk across a London Bridge, a chip-shop pizza, a pregnant daughter for the mother who must never know, Derek's mouth ('good kissers don't grow on trees'), or ham sandwiches cut into hearts. There is the terrible love of the children, the love of men for women and women for men, the love of strangers for each other, the loves of the lost, the abandoned, and the better left alone. A brilliant observer of human frailty and tenderness, Janice Galloway examines the moments where lives split like a stone, where people are healed or broken by a word or the touch of a hand. Savagely accurate, vivid and unsentimental, moving again through the depths of silence, power and dependency, these are painstakingly crafted stories: engaging, causitc, funny and terrifyingly true.

Review:
"The Big Issue" (London)Tactile and unfussy, these yarns come over like some north-of-the-border Raymond Carver -- brilliantly catching the tiny triumphs, big decisions and bumping let-downs of an assortment of everyday, flesh-and-blood protagonists....A beautifully wrought gem.
From the Back Cover:
'Galloway's subject is love in all its quirky triumphs and sneaky defeats. Where You Find It confirms the originality and skill which wins her awards...Galloway has the all-important gift of knowing when her stories end, and lethally accurate powers of observation'
-Judy Cooke, Daily Telegraph
'The writing can be felt on your pulses. Galloway is a literary endoscopist. She gets beneath the surface of life and exposes the nerves'
-Georgina Brown, Independent
'She is a quite brilliant observer of the way relationships suddenly turn, of how a look, a gesture, a word can heal or hurt'
-Anthony Quinn, Harpers & Queen
'Fuses a nerve-exposing honesty with deep compassion'
-Gavin Wallace, Scotsman
