The Mysterious Life of the Heart: Writing from The Sun about Passion, Longing, and Love

This book is so fabulous. There is no other way to describe it. Found here are short stories, essays, and poems dealing, in some way, with relationships. All of the selections were initially published in The Sun magazine. Be warned that the content is tipped toward longing, lost love, and even tragedy. If you are only looking for romance and “happily-ever-after” scenarios, you will want to pass some of the stories.

Besides the amazing writing, this book is also beautiful. From the front cover photograph to the page layout and overall design, it is a wondrous thing to carry around. I often sat the book on my desk while at work, so I could admire it and look forward to reading it on my lunch break or during the bus ride going home. Highly recommended!
