«The Love Object» is the collection of eight stories by Edna O'Brien, published by Penguin in paperback (176 pages, in English).
Eight stories portraying women's lives marked by desire and disillusionment. In «Irish Revel», a young woman waits for love amid a hard life; in «The Rug», a woman becomes obsessed with a gift from no sender; in «The Love Object», a television presenter seeks emotional fulfilment in a relationship with a married man. Loneliness and emotional dependence unite the stories.
