'Breathless, red-raw and brutally honest' —Tracy Fells, 2017 Commonwealth Short Story Prize Winner
There's no such thing as a perfect family. A perfect life. A perfect man. Frank is proof of this. He's everyman and yet as unique as a fingerprint. With a wonderful wife and children who are the loves of his lives, he couldn't ask for anything more. But time and time again he keeps risking it all. In snapshots through time, Only About Love takes a sweeping loop around Frank's life as he navigates courtship, marriage, fatherhood and illness.
Told in a series of flash fictions, this moving tale of love and loss is a breathtaking example of the novella-in-flash form and a literary tour-de-force.
