Eight short stories about the hurt caused by love, written by an impressive collection of writers. The standard of contributions is reasonably consistent, though I found Johnson and Strachan least convincing of the authors included. A very useful source book for this often badly handled topic - but far too expensive. Perhaps a couple of copies for the GCSE book box?
