This collection is her best ever. What an irreverent, original voice! I found myself gasping in shock and laughter, feeling at the end of each tale that I had garnered strange wisdom on the human heart and its unerring sense for finding trouble.\" — \u003cb\u003eAmy Tan\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Joy Luck Club\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe speakers in Molly Giles’s \u003ci\u003eWife With Knife\u003c\/i\u003e offer their truths with surprising starkness: “[T]he actual heart looks more like a tongue than a valentine” states the grief-flayed aunt of “Agate Beach,” while the careless driver of “Accident” thinks “If I rear-ended anyone in California, I might be sued or shot but I would not be prayed upon.” Many of the stories are not traditional narratives but glimpses of the trouble or healing that lies ahead: teens refusing to heed traffic, lovers staring down death and betrayal and closure. Like a street magician’s trick, \u003ci\u003eWife With Knife\u003c\/i\u003e holds out each everyday tragedy or quiet triumph only to replace it seamlessly with another.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Molly Giles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48282823262459,"sku":"9781948585293","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_638bef4f-d33c-4d38-8c22-6b246f8947e6.jpg?v=1774926379","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/wife-with-knife-9781948585293","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
