Nothing but Ghosts

A short-story collection following several women whose respective relationships are all on the turn in some way and have passed their first flush of romantic love.<BR><BR>The brilliant second collection of stories from Germany's answer to Zadie Smith. Judith Hermann's first collection, Summerhouse, Later, sold over 250,000 hardcovers in Germany and was short-listed for both the IMPAC award and the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize. In Nothing but Ghosts, she portrays a generation in a new and precarious stage-she describes relationships with painstaking honesty, filling in the silences where communication has begun to falter and the gaze begins to turn elsewhere.
