All The Rage Av A.L. Kennedy

<p><b>The dazzling new collection from the Costa Prize-winning author of <i>Day </i>and <i>The Blue Book.</i></b><br><br><i>She doesn’t ever lie to him unless it’s for the best.</i><br><br>A husband and wife wait for a train as their relationship unspools silently around them. A woman contemplates the idea of her lover dying as she queues in a bank. An almost impossibly uncomfortably lunch culminates in a passionate kiss. In this dazzling collection of stories lies the battlefield of the heart, where characters who have suffered somehow emerge – haltingly, awkwardly – into the astonishment of intimacy.</p>
