It Will Come Back to You

The first ever collection of short stories from the New York Times bestselling, National Book Award-winning author of The Friend

'Once you discover Sigrid Nunez, you don't look back' ANNE ENRIGHT
'Among the most interesting writers of our generation' INDEPENDENT
'Nunez gracefully leaps from big emotions, including grief, to erudite literary digressions or biting wit' WALL STREET JOURNAL
'One of my favourite authors' NATALIE PORTMAN

It Will Come Back to You takes in thirteen stories - never before collected together - from a career spanning three decades, which has seen Nunez become one of contemporary fiction's most distinctive voices. Moving from an inappropriate teenage crush to a therapist's second chance at love, in this collection Nunez maintains her irrepressible humour, bite, and insight, while exploring the philosophical questions we have come to expect from her writing.

'What's consistent across Nunez's books is their searching tone about the biggest of life's questions' WASHINGTON POST
'Long live Sigrid Nunez' LAURA MARLING
'I am committed, until one of us dies, to Nunez's novels. They are short, wise, provocative, funny' DWIGHT GARNER, NEW YORK TIMES
