MUD: STORIES OF SEX AND LOVE
Book ID/图书代码： 00200010B38452
English Summary/英文概要： A jilted lover skirts the edges of time and place as she walks the streets of London at night; a woman returns to the scene of her honeymoon without her husband; a bereft daughter traces her relationship with her mother as she slowly packs up a house in the aftermath of death. In this brilliant collection of intimate and intense stories, Michele Roberts takes us to nineteenth century Venice, 1970s England, modern-day France and beyond. Here too are Tristram and Isolde with a twist; George Sand, sick in Venice with her unfaithful lover; and the bitter maid taking care of young Adele: both forced out of Rochester’s home to make way for the passions of Jane Eyre...With her subversive, often witty, exploration of women’s desires, memory, grief, love and betrayal, Michele Roberts demonstrates once again why she remains one of Britain’s most invigorating writers.

Awards/获奖情况：苏珊鲍也，《金融时报》（Financial Times）：“这是一本很振奋人心的合集，作者出色的才华令人赞不绝口，如身临其境感受到生命中的重要事务。”
《泰晤士报》（The Times）：“作者最大的优点就是抓住了女人深层次的意识状态，为自己开辟了新天地。” ’This is an exhilarating collection of stories suffused with a wry wit and a warm - even hot - heartedness. Writing of such a high calibre can make you feel that the life of the mind is everything, that the acute observation and intelligence of the writer is a sort of mirror to what matters most in life. Yet these stories constantly remind us, in their strong and lustrous prose, that in the fullest lives the physical realm is equally if not more pressing and important’ --Susie Boyt, Financial Times
’Roberts’s greatest skill is the insight with which she writes about women caught up in heightened states of awareness . . . Her writing breaks new ground.’--The Times
