Where the God of Love Hangs out by Amy Bloom

A young woman struggles to come to terms with her friend's murder; a man and his daughter-in-law confess their sins in the most unlikely of places; a daughter returns to her hated father's house to care for him in his final days and discovers an unexpected bond; and, in a set of interlocking stories, two middle-aged friends, married to others, find themselves irresistibly sexually drawn to one another. In this sensuous, funny, and heartbreaking new book, Amy Bloom explores the unexpected patterns that love, and its absence, weave into our lives. With her generous and clear-eyed understanding of human complexity and contrariness, the award-winning author takes us to the margins and centres of people's lives, introducing us to some of her most unforgettable characters yet.
AMY BLOOM is the author of two collections of stories, Come to Me and A Blind Man Can See How Much I Love You, and two novels: Away (published by Granta Books) and Love Invents Us. A practising psychotherapist, Bloom also teaches creative writing at Yale University
