What is love if not an invention-not just human instinct but artful construction? The women who people The Invention of Love , Sara Schaff 's second story collection, long to conceive of themselves as artists, as lovers, as good sisters and daughters-while contending with financial insecurity and the reality of twenty-first century womanhood.
A college student finds her voice as an artist through a tiny lie.
A woman grieves her mother's death by shopping for house.
