Underneath layers of wallpaper and plaster, a young housewife discovers two unnerving portraits. A middle-aged divorcee wrestles with old feelings as she follows her ex, and his realtor, on a tour of a decrepit, overgrown property. During her parents' cocktail party, a preteen is visited in her bedroom by a drunken guest, a moment that defines her love life for years to come. A lonely professional convinces herself that the working-class boyfriend she dumped in 1984 is her one true love. From 1970s Orlando to contemporary Halifax, Cocktail spans decades of moods and places with precision. These are intimate, immersive stories of life's unexpected watershed moments, in which seemingly insignificant details exert a tidal pull and chance encounters can irreversibly shape a life."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 $a Canadian fiction $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Canadian fiction $x Women authors. 650 0 $a Discomfort (Psychology) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 1 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20231107011054.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=623208927D3B11EE9BA621765EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
