- Summary:
- The unrelenting ache of the loss of a child. The haunting touch of a person you have loved and betrayed. The hollow desolation of everyday life. With All the Men Are Sleeping, best-selling and award-winning writer D. R. MacDonald delivers a searing and muscular work. He deftly explores the misunderstandings between men and women, the nature of seduction and infidelity, the way geography shapes identity, and the heartache of longing -- for home, family, and love. The mood is haunting, remarkable for its restrained passion and eloquence. The brilliant force of MacDonald's voice will stay with readers long after the final page is turned. Each of these stories stands alone, but together they offer a heartrending elegy for lost loves and time-forgotten places.
