Synopsis
From Why Isn't He Here Yet to Hex That Ex and Meet the Parents, Love Story is jam-packed with over sixty sassy spells and plenty of hocus pocus. But don't be overwhelmed, girls, because there's some magical help at hand. Love Storyis a book of charms and spells that can solve every possible relationship obstacle known to girlkind. Perhaps you feel you've been left to gather dust on a lonely shelf, and that your only hope is to get forty cats and some comfy shoes? Or maybe your prince has turned into a toad? Or is it his ex-girlfriend that's causing all the problems? If you can relate to these scenarios, don't get angry, get magical., MERMAIDS, SEAL WOMEN, little girls born of eggs, old men born of prematurely aged parents, and other strange creatures populate award-winning author Lauren Slater's stories of magic, psychology, pain, and release. Slater depicts the modern-day psycho-pharmaceutical industry and our ongoing obsession with chemically synthetic solutions, the staleness and surprises embedded in married erotic love, the conflicts in the mother-daughter bond, the universal struggle with dependency and addiction, and more. In addition, she explicitly and implicitly explores the value that fairy tales and fables still have in our culture as tools of healing and illumination. In writing fairy tales for adults, Slater successfully combines her skills as a storyteller and her profound knowledge of psychology to create a bizarre world that is also hauntingly familiar. Daring and absurd, poignant and disturbing, these stories are beautifully written and will enchant and edify adult readers forever after., Slater depicts the modern-day, psycho-pharmaceutical industry and the ongoing obsession with chemically synthetic solutions, the staleness and surprises embedded in married erotic love, the conflicts in the mother-daughter bond, the universal struggle with dependency and addiction, and more., An exploration of contemporary family dynamics, moral conundrums, and romantic love as revealed by a collection of original fairy tales for adults captures the value of stories and fables in culture as tools of healing and illumination as well as the role of the fairy tale in modern endeavors.

- r***1 (179)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufThe book was exactly as described and arrived quickly. The only problem is a recurring one with this seller and other similar sellers - the book is poorly packaged in a plastic envelope and gets heavily bumped in shipping. I would like to see the books wrapped before shipment, but I understand this can't be done for cost reason. Luckily it isn't an expensive book, and I will continue to purchase basic books from this seller. A+++++
- 4***1 (1639)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufBook arrived quickly and is pretty close to "Very Good" description. Value priced and I'm glad I made the purchase as this is an excellent read. However, the book was mailed loose inside an over-sized plastic bag without any protection. Wrapped in a bubble wrap jacket would be a big help. A book can take a beating in USPS transit without some buffer. I can't tell if the bumps and dings were original or occurred in transit. I'd prefer to pay for shipping than have it sent with no protection.
