Synopsis
'Colwin is a bard of burgeoning adulthood' New Yorker
Polly has been the house pet to several families: friendly, cheerful, good with children, happy to bask in the domesticity of other people's lives - until she meets Gilbert.
Cordy, raised with the spartan, pleasure-rejecting habits of the very rich, cannot stomach the pleasures of his beloved Jane's cooking, her lavender soap, her adoration.
And Ann, the perpetually stoned young wife of a popular college professor, tries to find the courage to tell her husband that she's been high since the day they met.
Humorous, tender and moving, here are tales of love and desire in all its forms, with each story told in Laurie Colwin's irresistible, inimitable style.
