    About Elementals

    From the booker Prize-winning author of Possession comes this richly imaginitive story collection that transports the reader to a world where opposites–passion and loneliness, betrayal and loyalty, fire and ice–clash and converge.

    A beautiful ice maiden risks her life when she falls in love with a desert prince, whose passionate touches scorch her delicate skin. A woman flees the scene of her husband’s heart attack, leaving her entire past behind her. Striving to master color and line, a painter discovers the resolution to his artisitc problems when a beautiful and magical water snake appears in his pool. And a wealthy Englishwoman gradually loses her identity while wandering through a shopping mall. Elegantly crafter and suffused with boundless wisdom, these bewitching tales are a testament to a writer at the hieght of her powers.
