Normally I'd take in the sights and sounds but as I made my way along twisted paths, I consumed myself with witty one-liners regarding her lateness. They ranged from insulting my summer suit to me stammering interruptions while she presented her reasons for being over four hours late.
Hanging around has never been more fun than with GP Lane's captivating debut, Waiting on Women.
Featuring five distinct stories that nevertheless share a unified theme of women worth waiting for, this intriguing collection explores all of the ways in which standing still can sometimes be the only way to move forward.
Each story brings to life the joy, tragedy, and complexity of female relationships. Follow along, as a brother drinks his way through the streets of Manhattan while waiting for his time-challenged sister, or feel your heart start to pound as you read about Benjamin Radcliffe's imprisonment by a mysterious and seductive figure.
Each and every character-from Li, a seemingly cursed foster child who is brought to the home of a floundering American couple, to Bette and Meryl, two lifelong friends anchored by their mutual longing-is sure to stay with you long after the last page has closed.
