A woman fleeing her abusive lover realizes her safety will forever be cruelly out
of reach. An American visitor to Ireland learns that he will always be too much of
an outsider to understand the country's politics and cultures. In the world of Who
Will Hear Your Secrets? fragile human relationships are marked by lies, betrayals,
suppressed memories, and rare moments of joy. Whether examining broken communications
between lovers or the misunderstandings that destroy old friendships, these stories
concern the issues that divide us, in a world where the present is haunted and sometimes
overpowered by the past, and the future holds only the possibility--never the assurance--of
forgiveness. This is Robley Wilson's sixth story collection. Speaking of his first
collection, Kurt Vonnegut said, "His writing is an admirable demonstration of the
continuing vitality of the short story form, and handsome proof that we are not mistaken
when we continue, with Mr. Wilson, to love it so."
