Description

Through the filter of the human condition, Strange Bedfellows – a new anthology from Thistledown Press – examines relationships at every stage, in stories and essays filled with humour, grace, and occasionally complete irreverence. The difficulties common to romantic relationships are brought to the forefront in this collection about courtship, marriage, and love and the complications that arise when two people promise fidelity and frequently fail to live up to this promise. Canadian writers explore the age old question of whether such a serious contract can ever truly be successful, offering insightful takes on the realities of marriage and exploring our universal obsession with love.
