    It Will Come Back to You takes in thirteen stories - never before collected together - from a career spanning three decades, which has seen Nunez become one of contemporary fiction's most distinctive voices. Moving from an inappropriate teenage crush to a therapist's second chance at love, in this collection Nunez maintains her irrepressible humour, bite, and insight, while exploring the philosophical questions we have come to expect from her writing.
