You Won't Remember This - Kate Blackwell

This is a collection of short stories. They were all pretty good. Opportunity missed and concealment (not with malice) were common themes. I remember feeling sad after reading some of these. There was a woman who weaves and has a secret love - a friend who was married to another friend. There was a woman who learned that her husband was gay after he died. I won't forget the images of that woman having dinner with a gay couple on her block - they were unpleasant and that, combined with the dawning knowledge that her best friend and love had another side - another life - got stuck in my brain.
