Product Description

Review

'A fresh and huge delight... deliciously barbed.' GUARDIAN 'The economical exactitude of her observation makes each of these eleven stories a keen pleasure.' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'Brilliantly observed... moving.' THE TIMES '... combines an extraordinary vivid imagination with a felicity of expression, a hugely developed sense of the absurd, and the ability to involve a reader's emotions with her characters in a few pages.' EVENING STANDARD

Product Description

This collection brings together past and present, probing many and varied lives. The title story examines Jane Austen's love life, while others introduce a trio of mean-spirited and middle-aged Kensington widows, a dreaded stranger, and the mercurial changes in young love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful set of short stories by Jane Gardam, Mar 8 2009

By California Bookworm - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The Sidmouth Letters (Paperback)

This little volume of short stories by Jane Gardam is great! I just finished it and will reread it almost immediately. The stories are so well-written and varied that they are like miniature jewels of many hues. There are a number of typos sprinkled throughout (which is a little surprising - I plan to write to the publisher about it - maybe they can make the corrections in the next printing). I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes well-written English literature. I plan to send copies to bibliophile friends as gifts.
