These stories paint a portrait of a magical realist world that is both chaotic and corrupt. In Blister a young widow remains faithful to her wedding vows even after her husband's deception is revealed. The husband in Others is haunted by a picture from the sixteenth century that has seemingly come to life and threatens to destroy his marriage. The soldier in A Soldier's Lament refuses to order the execution of an enemy combatant with whom he has fallen in love. The teenage girl in Skipping Stones is troubled by her father's second marriage, resulting in an existential crisis.
