My Mistress's Sparrow Is Dead: Great Love Stories, from Chekhov to Munro My Mistress's Sparrow Is Dead: Great Love Stories, from Chekhov to Munro
by Eugenides, Jeffrey
Either ask for this from your sweetheart or treat yourselves to this delectable selection of love stories. Great love stories from Chekhov to Munro, these are not the standard romantic treacle. They range from tragic to comical, each one being an ode to the organ that we credit with our soul. Eugenides deftly chose these from thousands-his introduction alone merits reading this collection.
