"Can you tell me the meaning of love?" These 15 short stories play with this question. Many of the characters find themselves unloved, but come to terms with this in a variety of touching, rebellious and surprising ways. These entertaining tales are wry and poignant, sardonic and sensitive - an irresistible combination.
