Angela Huth is one our most consistently enthralling novelists, with a career that spans such critically acclaimed works as LAND GIRLS, WIVES OF THE FISHERMEN and OF LOVE AND SLAUGHTER. But she is also a master of the short story, as this succulent retrospective spanning 25 years reveals. This new anthology contains the very best of Angela's three short story collections - MONDAY LUNCH IN FAIRYLAND, SUCH VISITORS and ANOTHER KIND OF CINDERELLA - together with two wonderful new pieces: 'Angels Bending Near the Earth', a tale of Christmas and competitive friends; and 'The Wife and a Half', about a woman bewitched by a conversation about Byron. These are vignettes and epiphanies that bear all the hallmarks of Angela's writing skills: her eye for description, her ear for dialogue, her understanding of the subtle intricacies of human relationships. In 'Men Friends', a funeral reveals the truth about an odd couple's relationship; in 'The Bull', a rampaging animal provides the impetus for a woman to change her life; and in 'Sudden Dancer', a husband's plan to surprise his wife ends up with him being surprised himself.

Review:
Angela Huth's eye for detail is reminiscent of Alan Bennett's . . . a very satisfying collection (DAILY TELEGRAPH)
These are private and tortured moments and Huth reveals the disappointment and embarassment with a clarity that makes us wince with empathy. This is compelling readng. (GOOD BOOK GUIDE)
The tales in this collection which show Huth at her best are about unfulfilled longings... Huth is a full technicolour story-teller who clearly enjoys herself. (SPECTATOR)
Huth's view of human relationsips is witty and subtly subversive. (MAIL ON SUNDAY)
