Gravity is a book that grabs you from the first page and never lets go. The women who populate its seven stories brim with fierce energies and dark desires -- for revenge, independence, connection, or forbidden sex. Pitch-perfect prose and unforgettable turns of phrase make this collection a master class in the art of visceral storytelling.

In this collection of fiction by Judith Serin, she explores the extraordinary inner lives of seemingly ordinary women. Serin finds the difficult truths in relationships between the sexes, words and feelings thought but never expressed. Her descriptions have a poet’s imagination and precision. These stories will surprise and enlighten, particularly the moving novella Gravity that gives the collection its name.
