“Breathtaking. . .chillingly beautiful, like postcards from Eden. . .Van Booy’s stories are somehow like paintings the characters walk out of, and keep walking.” — Los Angeles Times

In Simon Van Booy’s critically acclaimed debut collection, The Secret Lives of People in Love, Simon Van Booy explores the sway of fate and power of memory on the lives of lonely and vulnerable people. With spare, economical prose, Van Booy creates a profoundly humane and somber resonance with the assured hand of “a first-rate storyteller” (Newsday).
