About the Book

Handle: From the award-winning author of Martin Sloane comes a subtle and moving collection of short fiction that asks the question: what does it mean to be "true." Description: With Fidelity, Michael Redhill investigates the nature of temptation and desire, the ambivalence at the heart of our most intimate trusts, and the paradox of betrayal--we cannot deceive others unless we have first deceived ourselves. In stories that range from the darkness of family silences to the hilarity of people caught in their own snares, Redhill reveals that even in our profound connection to others we are always somehow alone, and that redemption cannot remove a stain. The vulnerabilities of Redhill's characters are our own: a business-trip affair leaves a man changed in ways he cannot anticipate; a young woman discovers she does not understand what connects people to each other; a traveling salesman, in trying to remain friends with his ex-wife, keeps breaking her heart; and a young girl's sexuality inflicts shocking wounds on her family. With an unflinching attention to emotional detail, Fidelity looks boldly at the flarings of desire that seduce, and sometimes break body and soul.

Review :
"A deeply moving first novel that reveals human truths with grace and humor. It is a book of constant surprises." "Martin Sloane made me feel melancholic, hopeful, amused, energized, enlightened, unnerved, touched and finally grateful that occasionally a writer comes along who gets real life just right." "Michael Redhill has created a thoughtful, quietly engrossing novel whose truths are all the more powerful for the delicacy with which they are revealed." "Michael Redhill is a writer of considerable humanity and insight. His first novel is a highly crafted and subtly disturbing delight." "Michael Redhill's entrancing novel depicts itself as a kind of Joseph Cornell box: a plangently charged little world out of which his narrator painfully finds her way." "Redhill's book, not unlike the later stories of Henry James, is a work of fiction in which thoughts speak more loudly than words and the distinction between art and life is the story's real mystery."
