Description: Very Good. Light shelf wear hardly worth mentioning. Inside is clean and perfect. From the Publisher: In this vital and heartbreaking collection of stories, Valerie Martin, the bestselling author of Mary Reilly and the internationally acclaimed Property, turns an unflinching eye upon artists-driven and blocked, desired and detested, infamous and sublime, as they struggle beneath the tyranny of Art to reconcile their audience with their muse.

"Valerie Martin's compendium of tales about artists and relationships is, unfortunately, rather uneven. Some of the tales are gripping and leave you wanting more, while others seem to slog along (particularly the title piece for the anthology). The good thing about this book is that it examines all manner of human relationships across sexual orientations, ethnicities and ages. I just wish the work had been more consistently good, because the well-written tales were delightful although they pointed up the flaws of the lesser works."
"I spent the whole morning in bed with this book on one of the worst days of my life. I found it to be comforting and contemplative, even if a couple of the stories in it feel a bit rushed."
"This is a collection of short stories about artists that I thought was great. The range of characters is terrific, their worlds well made and interesting."
