Description
Dame Margaret Drabble wrote the fourteen short stories that comprise this superb collection over a forty-year period. In each of them, Dame Margaret examines the private lives and passions of everyday people. From one man's honeymooning epiphany in Hassan's Tower to the journeying fantasies of A Voyage to Cythera, and from the sharp joy of The Merry Widow to the bloody reality of the collection's title story, these are moving, witty and provocative tales, exploring cruel and loving relationships, social change and personal obsessions, and confirm Drabble's status as one of the foremost short story writers of our time.
