Vanishing and Other Stories Paperback - 2010 - 1st Edition
by Deborah Willis
Evocative and passionately written, this debut short story collection--a finalist for Canada's Governor General's Award--explores emotional and physical absences, the ways in which people leave and are left, and whether it's ever possible to move on.
From the rear cover
A French teacher who collects fiancs; a fortune-teller who fails to predict the heartbreak of her own daughter; an aging cowboy seduced by a city girl . . . these are some of the unforgettable people who live in these pages.
In Vanishing and Other Stories, secrets are both kept and unearthed, and lives are shaped by missing lovers, parents, and children. With wisdom and dexterity, moments of dark humor, and a remark- able economy of words, Deborah Willis captures an incredible array of characters that linger in the imagination and prove that nothing is ever truly forgotten.
