Death Cleaning and Other Units of Measure: Short Stories

"Nancy Burke's stories open the treacherous ground of marriage and family relations with fearless intimacy." --Marina Antropow Cramer You will laugh, weep and roll your eyes at these unreliable characters, among them a man in love with the voice of his GPS, a teenage couple hiding flaws as they discover love, and a young wife inspired by a dead seagull to do what she needs to do. These stories deal with the vulnerability of well-intentioned people and the ephemeral 'units of measure' that are part of how we see the world. The personal touches on the universal with Burke's seemingly ordinary characters; they have much to show us about our own foibles and about how we live every day in that space between the ideal and the real.
