Lovers & other strangers

the long version

Carol Malyon writes of women's lives, of their relationships with lovers, mothers, children and other women. She explores the relationships between memory and truth. Lovers & Other Strangers consists of small stories, snapshots of women's lives in specific times and situations. The setting & characters vary but the theme remains fixed: that there is a fundamental and irreconcilable discord between men and women, in their view of the world, their modes of communication, the way they view themselves, the way they view others.
