Review
"Daringly unconventional. . . . [S]parkling with untold hazard, like pieces of cut glass." --The New York Times Book Review
"In these splendid stories, Edith Templeton, at her cosmopolitan best, rivals our other Edith: she has Mrs. Wharton's cool stare that sees all round her characters while never refusing us the pleasure of an unanticipated surprise." --Gore Vidal"Love-or desire, and the two are at once distinct and intertwined here-is the ordering principle of these stories, the prism through which the world is seen. . . . [V]ivid and rich." --Newsday "Templeton's ability to pierce through the deepest reaches of longing, desire, lust and loneliness crosses the gender divide. . . . [Templeton] is one of the great social observers of the twentieth century." --Toronto Star "In these sensuous, refined . . . stories . . . Templeton . . . never suffers any fool gladly, least of all when that fool happens to be herself." --Vogue "[B]reathtaking. . . . Templeton is an overlooked treasure of worldly sophistication, psychological insight and dry wit. . . . A brilliant eavesdropper of the Henry James--Edith Wharton school." --Book
