Stay With Me and Other Stories explores the intricacies of human relationships between lovers, friends, families and even strangers. It is a look at the nature of human connections: the lies we tell, the truths that haunt us, the intimacies that turn remote, the lives that are drawn together. Each story is an examination of transgression in its different forms, from childish rebellion to intense betrayal, and the innate desire to relate to others as well as the inevitability of alienation. These themes are explored through relationships between children and parents, husbands and wives, lovers and beloveds, and finally the characters' complicated relationships with themselves.
