Audio Book Description:
Only a storyteller of Ford`s remark- able agility and seriousness could produce such a rich array of stories on the single, dramatic theme of love andintimacy. A Multitude of Sins evokes, with unflinching candor, our failures toachieve what weconsider to be most important: to be honest and passionateand finally loving toward thosewe care for or merely, if desperately, desire. As in all of Ford`s work, the settings are as distinct as Montreal is from NewOrleans, or Maine from the Grand Canyon.Yet in each he is drawnto the relationsbetween women and men- liaisons in and out andto the sides of marriage. It isin these relations, his extraordinary stories suggest, that our entire sense of right and wrong is enacted, and the fierce intensity he brings to thesevivid, unforgettable dramas marks this as his most powerfully arresting book todate.
