Joshua Spassky | 
pickGwendoline Rileys work profoundly explores human relationships + I enjoyed both of her last 2 books. In this earlier novel, the focus is on a young woman in Manchester who makes a trip to N Carolina to meet an old lover Joshua. In a run-down motel, they are intimate emotionally and physically as the author also describes encounters between them and strangers in the town. Intriguing, this short book absorbed me + made me want reread her other work
