Love Cycles

"Do you remember that I always called you 'Adam?' I did so without noticing that you were in fact Joseph. The biblical Joseph was helping Maria to look after her child; he was not meant to give her a new life, but only prepare her for a life without him." is a collection of 14 of Ewa Mazierska's short stories examining relationships in the modern age. Criss-crossing different cultures and social classes, Mazierska's trenchant prose shines a light on the everyday tragedies of failed marriages, middle-aged romances, sordid affairs, and other cycles of love and loneliness in our world.
