A philandering art dealer tries to give up casual love affairs - seeking only passionate kisses as a substitute. A man recounts his personal history through the things he has stolen from others throughout his life. A couple chart the journey of their five year relationship backwards from awkward reunion to lovelorn first encounter. And at the heart of the book a 24-year old young woman Bethany Mellmoth embarks on a year-long journey of wishful and tentative self-discovery. The Dreams of Bethany Mellmoth depicts the random encounters that bring the past bubbling to the surface; the impulsive decisions that irrevocably shape a life; and the endless hesitations and loss-of-nerve that wickedly complicate it. These funny surprising and moving stories are a resounding confirmation of Boyd's powers as one of our most original and compelling storytellers.
