Come to ME by Amy Bloom

Come to ME by Amy Bloom

National Book Award Finalist

Bloom writes about passion--shameful, blissful and perverse. . . . Her voice is sure and brisk, her language often beautiful; the result is humorous and well as heartrending fiction. . . . Her work has the power both to disturb and to console. --New York Times Book Review

A wonderful collection of stories by a writer of amazing skill, intelligence and compassion. Come to Me is a debut which leaves the reader begging for more. --Alice Hoffman
