✦ Synopsis

An extraordinarily rich and powerful collection of seven, thematically linked stories from the acclaimed prize-winning author of The Sound of Things Falling
**'**The narrative escalates, the mystery deepens, and the scope of the story widens with each page ... Terrific' Khaled Hosseini, Books of the Year
'One of the most original new writers of Latin American literature' Mario Vargas Llosa
A Colombian writer is witness to a murder which will mark him forever. A woman sits alone in her house, waiting for her husband to return, while he lies in another woman's bed twenty kilometres away. Through blood-soaked betrayal, a love affair, murder and long-meditated revenge, Vásquez achieves an extraordinary unity of emotion, morality and landscape with these fragmented lives.
Achingly sad and beautifully crafted, The All Saints' Day Lovers is a remarkable and intense collection of stories that explores the depths of relationships, loneliness and cruelty.
