description: Ann Beattie is a writer of enormous compassion and honesty. Beattieexpertly draws contemporary domestic life and evokes the pain andconfusion of modern relationships. Her characters are wonderfullyauthentic, her detailing of everyday life photographically true.Beattie's stories offer starkly honest, often bittersweet glimpses oflife -- women nursing broken hearts, men looking for love, marriedcouples struggling to stay married, having affairs, leaving or wantingto leave. Disillusionment abounds. Love is often frustrated, unrequited,or absent. But Beattie moves gently among her characters, gracefullyrevealing their failings, their troubles, and ultimately their ability toendure. Her unsentimental voice propels these remarkable storiesforward, and her keen insight affords us a rare glimpse into thehuman heart.
