Salt Water and Other Stories"A collection of sensuous, vividly rendered stories of women coming together and drifting apart. An American art professor who dreams of changing her life falls in love with a painter during an idyllic week on a remote Swedish island. Two women with lovers at home are pulled dangerously close at a conference. And in the four captivating pieces that close the book, Wilson rewrites little-known fairy tales, including, 'The Princess in the Suit of Leather,' and 'The Woman Who Married Her Son's Wife.'"--AUTHOR'S WEBSITE |
