'A seemingly effortless performance ... the writing glides along, elegantly dropping details that suggest a whole way of life.'
The Sunday Times
A seductive collection of stories from a magnificent storyteller.
Trapped in a London flat, Beth remembers a transgressive love affair in 1960s Paris. The most famous writer in Russia takes his last breath in a stationmaster’s cottage, miles from Moscow. A father, finally free of his daughter’s demands, embarks on a long swim from his Canadian lakeside retreat. And in the grandest house of all, Danni the Polish housekeeper catches the eye of an enigmatic visitor.
Rose Tremain awakens the senses in this diverse collection of short stories. In her precise yet sensuous style she lays bare the soul of her characters – the admirable, the embarrassing, the unfulfilled, the sexy and the adorable – to uncover a dazzling range of human emotions and desires.
'With a keen ear for dialogue and restless changes of scene, she shows desire and disappointment to be universal, timeless emotions.'
The Sunday Telegraph
'Powerful, involving, wide-ranging collection.'
The Guardian
'Even in the most melancholy stories, Tremain delivers slivers of hope or humour to temper the tragedies. Fallibility is levelling rather than depressing and this collections highlights with subtlety and grace just how human it is to get things wrong.'
The Daily Telegraph
