The two of us

Page, Kathy 1958- (author.).

Summary: The stories in 'The Two of Us" focus on pairs, couples, dyads; intense one-on-one relationships. Lovers, spouses, siblings, hairdresser and client, mother and baby, teacher and pupil, girl and fox - these are the characters who animate Kathy Page's stunning new collection. While undergoing medical tests, tending the garden, starving themselves, touring museums, travling, considering suicide, and falling pregnany, they drive each other towards moments where the true shapes of their lives are glimpsed. With humour, tenderness, and ruthless observation, Page offers us a sense of who they - and we - might become.
