L'ange Sur Le Toit, Paperback Book, By: Russell Banks

The human species is curious in that it knows how to hate while loving, leaving and protecting, mothering and leading. Here are four everyday accidents that forge human beings with the grain of madness necessary to transcend a simple tête-à-tête in an unforgettable moment. Like all good stories, those of Russell Banks are encounters, discoveries, like answered prayers: a girl and her father, a couple of breeders, a waitress struck by lightning, a forbidden love that emerges from the past.
