A woman struggles to make sense of the insensitivities of a new neighbour.

4 Extra Debut. A woman struggles to make sense of the insensitivities of a new neighbour while coming to terms with her own very imminent demise. Read by Debora Weston.

'If I Loved You, I Would Tell You This' is the debut collection by US author Robin Black, whose work has drawn comparisons with that of Lorrie Moore and Alice Munroe. This week's selection of stories of loss, love and redemption chart the very everyday lives of suburban American families with wisdom, humour and humanity.

A woman struggles to make sense of the insensitivities of a new neighbour, while she tries to come to terms with her own, very imminent demise. 

Robin Black's stories and essays have appeared in numerous US magazines and newspapers, where she has also won several awards, but this is her first published collection. She is currently teaching creative writing at Bryn Mawr College, Pennsylvania, and lives with her family in Philadelphia.
