A Blind Man Can See How Much I Love You

In Amy Bloom’s brilliant new short story collection, lives are illuminated in the midst of darkness, of thwarted and unexpected love, of families made and found. These are people we know and are, people we long to be and fear we may become: a mother grieves for her beloved daughter and the handsome young man surgery will make her; a woman with breast cancer, a frightened husband, and a best friend all discover that their lifelong triangle is not what any of them imagined; a couple survives the death of their newborn to find themselves in mortal combat with the world. Sensuous, heartbreaking, spare, and laugh-out-loud funny, these tales take us straight to the unpredictable heart of real life, with rare generosity and and wit. Lionel and Julia, introduced, unforgettably, in Bloom’s prize-winning first collection, Come to Me, are brought together in two more linked stories about forgiveness, memory, and the tenacity of love. And it is love, in each of these eight mesmerizing stories, that we follow, through uncertainty and hope, through the betrayals and gifts of the body, and it is Bloom’s flawless prose that leads us.
