Poached Eggs on Toast

In this award-winning collection - a gathering of Frances Itani's best past work with some of her newest - each of the twenty-two stories deals with some aspect of life's astonishing struggles and delights that we all endure. These are tales as quirky and disparate as their characters. Spare language, a poetic eye for detail, subtle humor and great depth of imagination combine to make each story a unique and empathetic experience.
