Hooked: Four Stories
Fans of Raymond Carver and Lydia Davis will love these short stories of modern love affairs crafted with thoughtful, lyrical prose.
The four short stories in HOOKED show a darker, more contemplative side of The Breakup Girl. We meet characters well entrenched in their first marriages, yet struggling still with challenges such as depression, ambition and lust.
Familiar and well-drawn, Nelson’s characters welcome us into the most intimate moments of their lives, where we witness first-hand their private triumphs and failures in a universe of different loves.

Great bite-sized prose
Wonderful sympathetic characters make this a perfect book for an afternoon's reading. Ms Nelson's insight into the human condition make her stories funny, sad, exciting all without effort. I would give up my morning coffee for more stories like this.
