520 1 $a"Witty, stylist, and evocative, Ice Cream is Helen Dunmore's astonishing new collection of stories, the first by the award-winning author of The Siege and A Spell of Winter to be published in the United States. World-class storyteller Helen Dunmore explores friendship, regret, and mysterious passions in stories crafted with subtlety, humor, and a surprising tenderness.
520 8 $aIn each taut, agile tale, characters negotiate situations that are often both mundane and bizarre: a cafeteria cook confronts her Polish pen pal; a divorced mother gains insight from a parking meter; a beautiful, thin, and famous woman succumbs to the lure of comfort food; a grieving husband says farewell to his wife; a boastful writer is put in his place in spectacular fashion; and in a chilling future, the government ruthlessly regulates conception and childbirth.
520 8 $aIn several stories a soulful, curious woman named Ulli takes up residence in the reader's imagination - stumbling across a strangely charismatic collector of religious icons, contemplating a youthful pregnancy, and remembering a troubled lover."--BOOK JACKET.
