A Great Intimacy and other Stories

Rosanne Dingli's stories are intensely concerned with location and atmosphere. Her stories combine diverse meanings of intimacy experienced by a fascinating assortment of characters, at different times, in different places. Uneasy familiarity between friends thrown together by a difficult love for the same woman, or the bond of siblings, are forms of intimacy that can border on contempt. Lovers' tenderness can endure because of deep understanding. Betrayal, confusion and joy live side-by-side with disappointment, bewilderment and elation, and always, there is that sense of involvement, of relationship. This is an excursion into how close, or how distant, two individuals can feel. Enjoy this special edition bijou collection of seven previously published and awarded stories.
