Objects of Desire is a collection of stories of women's lives focusing on desire and the complications that this creates. Sometimes they are vulnerable but sometimes they are the aggressor. Thrilling desire and melancholic yearning animate women's lives - from the brink of adulthood, twenty and thirty and on into middle age. It is an intimate and uncomfortable collection with mordant humour.
